Hello everyone.In my last analytical of December 17 I have left the level of blood potassium of 6.1 with what is considered a problem because it is dangerous from 5. This did not happen to me for years when I also had it high and they put meSeguril (diuretic to urinate) and they entered me, they made me a multitude of tests and they didn't know how to tell me why this happened to me only that they thought something had to do with diabetes.They did not tell me that it was anything of the diet, neither the exercise nor another possible explanation only that because it was diabetic of many years of evolution they had to control it.
Now it happens to me again and I don't know why and I would like to know if someone from the forum has heard something similar before.
Thank you so much.

Well, I had never heard it ... seeing if anyone knows anything .., if the other ions are fine, it will not be difficult to correct it ..

How curious ... I was in the analytics a little less than a year ago he gave me a tad over the limit, but they did not give importance (and I thought I had eaten many bananas in the Canary Islands).Since then not as banana for that: D

In the last analytics I have it tall but within the limit, I don't know how to tell you.

There are endocrine disorders of the adrenal, which alter the absorption-excretion of sodium and potassium.I imagine that they will have studied it if you have reached 6, I can also think of any renal problem of excretion of potassium independent of the first.

Hello everyone and thanks for answering.
A few years ago they tested if it was liver failure but found nothing;In fact they did not find explanation to the rise in blood potassium, right now I do not know if they will do any test or not, I say that it will depend on the following analytics.

In the message above I wanted to say non -hepatic renal failure.
