Dear Darbi,

Don't worry about isolated results from blood tests. There is a margin of error associated with this testing and look for patterns. Potassium, I wouldn't be concerned at this point.

FYI: High levels may be due to eating potassium high foods (such as bananas) or even from taking Advil or beta-blockers. It may be a resut from tissue injury, including cancer cells.
Take care,
Al
