A member asked:
Other than kidney, adrenal, or dietary issues are there other causes for high potassium? my levels stay around 5.5 and nobody can find any problems.

Watch it: if you have had extensive work up and seen a nephrologist and reviewed your meds, I would just keep monitoring it. normal is what 65% of population has, and you just happen to fall outside the curve but can still be normal. any family history of hyperkalemia?
