1 Saturated fats can raise cholesterol and increase your likelihood of getting coronary artery disease. 2  It is believed that diets high in monounsaturated fatty acids can help lower bad cholesterol, thereby, lowering the risk of coronary heart disease.
Hyperkalemia is defined as a serum potassium concentration higher than the upper limit of the normal range; the range in infants and children is age-dependent, whereas the range for adults is approximately 3.5-5.5 mEq/L. levels higher than 7 mEq/L can lead to significant hemodynamic and neurologic consequences.
Meanwhile, in respiratory acidosis, the effect on serum potassium level is small through an unknown mechanism. The hormone insulin increases the uptake of potassium into the cells. Therefore, insulin deficiency can cause hyperkalemia.
