What Causes Elevated Potassium Levels In The Blood?
During my annual work physical my blood work is indicating my potassium level is high 5.6. This blood work was done this past Monday. Prior to my work physical I had my annual blood work done by my primary care physician. That blood work was performed on the 8th of November. At that time my potassium level was at 4.9. Is this something that can wait until after the holidays, or do I need to get this checked out ASAP? YYYY@YYYY
