Hello Chris,
sorry I’m replying to your question with a question. I was wondering, what kind of symptoms can warn us of a dangerous increase in potassium? When is the value considered dangerous? My mother has AL amyloidosis, currently in remission, and has severe chronic kidney disease. Her potassium is beginning to be slightly higher than the upper limit (5.4 now, reached 5.7 only once last year then went back to normal). Her nephrologist and dietician have not prescribed a rigorous diet yet, since her values are still fairly normal. However, I would like to know what we should be looking out for. I’ll ask the nephrologist but the experience of fellow patients is always very useful…
Thank you very much in advance
Fran
