What Causes High Potassium Count In Blood Test Report?

Doctor Rynne, I have recently had a blood test that showed a very high potassium count. My Primary Care Doctor sent me back for another test which came back with a high reading again. I have not seen my Doctor yet but could you give me an explanation?
