When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cannot remove extra potassium and too much potassium can stay in your blood. High potassium or hyperkalemia is a serious condition that may be life threatening. If you are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, you may be at increased risk for high potassium. These guidelines, developed by kidney disease experts, are designed to help you work with your health care team to manage and treat your high potassium levels.
