Question 1

what will high potassium levels and high liver enzymes cause?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: The high potassium may be from cell breakdown.  The liver enzymes can be related to liver cells but can also come from muscle sources.
Please see your doctor regarding possible muscle cell breakdown as the cause of the findings you mention above.

Question 2

creatine messing up my liver and high potassium levels. help?

Accepted Answer

Complex: I'm not sure if you have a primary liver or kidney disease (or both).  Creatinine elevation is unlikely the cause of liver dysfunction, unless medications are having a prolonged effect on the liver from kidney dysfunction.  

The high potassium points to a kidney source of the problem.

See your internist.

Question 3

what causes a high eosinopli count,border line low rbc,rest of cbc in normal.u&e  kidney fucnt which shows low potassium and creatinin. no liver test?

Accepted Answer

No one can answer: I'm a lab specialist. Questions like this simply cannot be answered. You haven't told us how high the eos are, how low the potassium is. Low creatinine means nothing but is unusual in a young man unless he's malnourished. Lab reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside. If you feel well, stop worrying.

Question 4

i have heard that drinking apple cider vineger (with water)for long time would cause liver damage and low potassium levels is that true?

Accepted Answer

No: It's a hokey "remedy" promoted for literally everything but isn't going to hurt you, other than perhaps upsetting your stomach.

Question 5

eating too much __________ can cause damage to the liver.
is it.
	
potassium
b.
	
sodium
c.
	
vitamin b
d.
	
magnesium?

Accepted Answer

Liver damage: If you have too much salt in your diet, that excess sodium won't cause liver damage, according to the National Library of Medicine. High dietary intake of Magnesium and Potassium is normalized by renal excretion and will not generally cause problems. High doses (2000 to 3000 mg per day) of niacin (vitamin B3) can also cause nausea, jaundice and elevated liver enzymes mimicking hepatitis.

Question 6

how likely would candesartan cause high or low potassium or affect kidneys/liver? current k levels are towards the high end of normal. kidney function normal. i also have paroxysmal af and concerned if it could cause this to flare up?

Accepted Answer

Could occur.: In the presence of kidney impairment, candesartan and other ARB drugs may cause high potassium levels. In patients taking candesartan or similar drugs patients with impaired kidney function should be informed of this problem and a list of foods with high potassium content should be provided to the patient.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

It should: however from reading your conditions and medications you have lots of urological issues and are complicated.  It is difficult to second guess how or if you will get better.  Treating your sex partner as well might be tried if this doesn't work.
