See Nephrologist: Kidney lesions are usually not biopsied and monitored. If suspicious for cancer will need partial nephrectomy but is unlikely at your age. Work up for hyperkalemia(high potassium) need to be done by a kidney doctor. While kidney insufficiency is a major cause of high potassium, it is not the only one.
