Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Potassium is a critical mineral for heart health. Even minor deviations in potassium levels can significantly affect the heart's electrical rhythm and muscle contractions.

What is the Potassium Test?

This test monitors the level of potassium in the blood. It is essential for patients with heart disease, kidney issues, or those taking blood pressure medications.

Why get tested?

  • Routine monitoring for hypertension and heart failure.
  • To investigate heart palpitations or muscle weakness.
  • Monitoring kidney function, as kidneys are the primary regulators of potassium.

Clinical Interpretation Range

Standard Range Interpretation
3.6 - 5.2 mmol/L Normal Range
Above 6.0 mmol/L Critical High (Risk of Cardiac Arrhythmia)

Preparation

Do not clench your fist during the blood draw, as this can temporarily raise potassium levels in the sample.
