Hi
I've been a member since 2012 but never posted before and just wondering if anyone could help me understand my blood test results please? am I allowed to post a picture of them typed out? I do have kidney disease and under a specialist , my potassium level was over 5.5 a few weeks ago then went down but todays results show over 5 again,, just rang the Doc and he said they are ok but bit worried with hospital saying they were high last time , thank you for any advice x

Hi Marie.

My potassium is often over 5. I think when it did get to 6, they increased my sodium bicarb tablets. But the hospital should know the best course of action.
