A member asked:

What causes increase of potassium in urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Intake: Kidneys regulate potassium on daily basis dependingon the intake. It is common to see high urine potassium if the intake of potassium is high. However if the urine potassium is high in the face of low blood level of potassium, it must be investigated.
