BTW... your potassium may be reading close to high because the sample was not handled correctly.
Factitious highs in potassium are common, when red blood cells burst and release the potassium into the serum.
Typically you need a retest with instructions to handle the sample properly. Even using a butterfly needle may do it...or a too tight tourniquet.
