What Causes Elevation In The Potassium Level?

Hi my Husband is 37 years of age and has Diabetes, and High Blood Pressure. When he goes for his regular check ups and has blood work done, his labs come out to be that his Potassium is high. Is there a reason why his Potassium level comes high? Also is it safe for him to take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water, lemon and honey a day?
