Incorrect result: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, If you are implying your serum potassium is 60 meq/L, that is not possible. Look at the report again and talk to your doctor. Even 6 is higher than normal and needs to be addressed.

NOT POSSIBLE: EITHER YOU MEAN SIX AND THAT IS SUPER HIGH OR YOU MIGHT MEAN AMOUNT IN THE URINE NOT THE BLOOD . PLEASE VERIFY THE INFORMATION
