Sometimes high potassium can indicate the kidney disease. It's better to get the kidneys functional test done. Doctors might ask you to stop taking high potassium food like milk, banana, oranges etc. Get her sugar A1C test done.Best wishes
we got her admitted to the hospital, and the doctors got her creatinine levels down. Thankfully she responded well to the medicine hence dialysis wasnt needed. But We had to give her a powder mixed with water to remove the potassium from her blood. Upon seeing the blood report, the doctor immediately called me (mom was at home that time) to give one sachet on that powder, its called k-bind. Later we got her admitted and he started treatment for potassium reduction, as that was the SOS thing.
Now she is fine and we get a blood check done once a month.
