Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
The reason for high pottasium is not because you are eating all such stuffs.
The underlying etiopathology may be different. Once the investigation is done we can come to conclusion as to what is the reason for the hyperkalemia.
Till that time I advice you to take as much water as you can take. It will dilute the effect of the hyperkalemia.
Diuretics can help reduce the high pottasium level. Depending on the amount of high pottasium you have. But please take the diuretics under doctors guidance.
Avoid taking coconut water, as it is the high source of pottasium.
I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun We wish you a best health at healthcare magic. Thank you, Dr. Arun Tank
