High potassium in urine is mainly due to excessive intake of potassium-containing drugs or foods, resulting in increased potassium ion content in urine. It may also be due to trauma, such as crush syndrome, which causes a large number of cells in the body to rupture, and potassium ions in the cells are released into the circulating blood, which will be excreted in large quantities in urine. It may also be due to metabolic problems, causing the body to show water electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders, which will also cause potassium in urine to increase. When the examination finds that potassium ions in urine are elevated, it is necessary to clarify the cause of the increase in time. At the same time, a large amount of water should be drunk to maintain the stability of effective circulating blood volume in human circulation. At the same time, potassium ions in urine can be diluted, and potassium ions can be supplemented exogenously. Because even if the human body does not intake potassium ions, it will continue to be excreted, and the loss is relatively fast.
