What does k stand for on a blood test? K is the symbol for potassium. Normal levels are between 3.5 and 5.5 mmol/L. Values outside this range require immediate attention by a doctor, particularly values above 6 â¦.5 where there is a risk of the heart stopping.
Arthritis may also cause excess fluid to build up between joints and may ultimately cause the fluid to form a cyst on the foot. The symptoms of a ganglion foot cyst can vary depending on the individual. The cyst is typically circular with a firm texture that is slightly pliable when pressed.
Whether symptoms develop depends upon the size and the specific location of the cyst within the brain. Small cysts usually do not cause symptoms. However, cysts can increase in size causing symptoms to appear, especially if they press against a cranial nerve, the brain, or the spinal cord. Most cases of arachnoid cysts that are associated with symptoms occur in childhood.
