Potassium level 4.8

2024-03-12 15:16:40
Recently I am suffering from occasional right side abdominal pain for a couple of weeks and today I went to a doctor who prescribed LFT & RFT. All values came back normal but my potassium level is 4.8 mmol/L. The correct range shows 3.5 to 5 but the report has highlighted this value in bold for some reason. I would like to know if this is abnormal or bound to get abnormal? My creatinine value is 0.8; sodium 140

Hi Your potassium level is within normal limits. Potassium range is generally 3.5-5.4 depending on the labs. It can be slightly on higher side when have had potassium rich foods, fruits before testing.. Also your abdominal pain is unlikely to be related. @Kidneydoctorrr (IG)
