A member asked:
I ve had idiopathic recurrent hives for months my most rcent blood work shows high potassium could they be connected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hives: The high potassium is a fluke if the blood sample was not processed adequately or delayed. It is not related to hives that are usually of unknown cause and are frustrating. You need to treat them as they come and i hate to say it, learn to live with them.
