Mother's potassium level is high-(6.17)

2025-05-14 17:08:50
Hello docs, My mom's potassium level is high from the past few months. Consulted the family doc and took medicines as well. It has gone down below 5 but now again it's 6.17 in recent tests. She gets tired quickly and feels nervous at times . I have noticed foamy urine and then suggested tests and consultation. Later we came to know about this situation. Please suggest..
