Knowing potassium levels is the first step to investigating the cause of high potassium. Less than 3.5 mg/dL is low. Between 3.5 to 5.5 mg/dL is safe. 5.6 to 6.0 mg/dL is high and unsafe.
Hypokalemia occurs when the bloodâs potassium levels are too low. A normal level of potassium is 3.6-5.2 millimoles per liter. Levels below 3.6 are considered low. Anything below 2.5 millimoles per liter is very low (Mayo Clinic). Potassium is an electrolyte. It is necessary for nerve and muscle cell functioning.
