Hi there, thanks for writing in. Sorry for delayed response. I am a medical specialist with an additional degree in cardiology. Before anything is done you ought to be treated for high K levels which are touching danger mark. With the available data you have acute on chronic or acute renal insufficiency. These will have to be differentiated by further biochemical tests and measuring the size of your kidney. As I said and now repeat that please go and see a doctor so that your hyperkalemia (increased K) is taken care of rest of things can follow.
With Best Wishes
