Val, I need your help for my mother

[Guest guest]

No, Val, my mother doesn't take blood pressure medication.

I doubt if the doctors will test renin and aldosterone.

I just spoke to a nurse at the nursing home.

The doctor wants to do more testing to find out the cause of the

5.2(high) potassium.

Do you think it is dangerous to wait till tomorrow for the testing?

i am wondering if she should be sent to the hospital.

I should also mention that she hasn't been eating or drinking much-

the food is awful!

I am concerned that she may be dehydrated!

Thanks so much Val!

Dehydration may be the cause of high potassium. And I would think Kidney

values and aldosterone would need ot be tested in the procedure of

finding the high potassium cause.
