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.
Potassium is a mineral in your cells. It helps your nerves and muscles work as they should. The right balance of potassium also keeps your heart beating at a steady rate. A potassium level that is too high or too low can be dangerous. If your levels are high or low, you may need to change the way you eat.
