What Causes High Potassium Level In Blood?
What are the causes of high potassium in blood? I recently had a blood test and the results showed an elevated amount of potassium. The call from the doctor s office has me scheduled for another blood test at the hospital, so that the blood sample can be tested right away. What are the dangers of high potassium? What can I do to lower my level of potassium? Thank you very much!
