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.
Hyperkalemia and hypokalemia are common electrolyte abnormalities in. hospitalized patients, although hypokalemia occurs more frequently than does hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia, a serum potassium concentration greater than 5.5 mEq/L (although reference. ranges can vary), is considered life threatening at concentrations greater than 7.5 mEq/L; however, an individual animal may have life-threatening clinical signs at higher or lower concentrations.
