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.
If the potassium level is in the normal range, replacement can start at 10 to 15 mEq potassium per hour. During treatment of DKA, the goal is to maintain serum potassium levels between 4 and 5 mEq per L (4 and 5 mmol per L).
