Hi welcome to HealthcareMagic
you need to continue the potassium for life time,.. there has been excretion of potassium in kidneys due to malfunction or non function.. leading to renal failure... hence no other option only treatment is to continue...
Hope I have answered your question..

This needs a detailed evaluation of your reports. Some medicines are available to reduce the loss of potassium depending on the cause. Get evaluated by a nephrologist.
