According to the Mayo Clinic, a normal range for potassium is between 3.6 and 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) of blood. A potassium level higher than 5.5 mmol/L is critically high, and a potassium level over 6.0 mmol/L can be life-threatening. This condition is dangerous, and requires prompt medical attention to prevent potential complications.
Potassium level The normal level is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L. Low potassium is defined as a potassium level below 3.5 mEq/L. Almost 1 out of 5 people hospitalized in the United States have a low potassium level. Up to 14% of people otherwise seen in doctors' offices have slightly low potassium levels.
