Suggest Treatment For Lupus With High Potassium Levles

I have lupus and kidney problems. My potassium level is 6.2 as of June 27, 2014. Other level are up slightly. This has been going on and off for about 3-4 months. I ve been dehydrated and have leg pain. I also have high blood pressure. I need help but only have Medicaid thru my disability. Can you help me find a doctor with answers for me? Or can you help me?
