Can there be a link between hypothyroidism and high potassium?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Unless your high potassium is due to renal failure as some congenital kidney defects can be associated with thyroid problems.

See below: I am not aware of the relationship unless they are taking a medication for the hypothyroidism which as a side effect causes an elevation of their potassium.
