What causes high Potassium and low Triglycerides?

High Potassium and low Triglycerides can be caused by many reasons.

If your Potassium is in between 3.5 mmol/L and 5.1 mmol/L and your Triglycerides is in between 40 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Potassium and Triglycerides respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Potassium levels include:

• Kidney disease
• Addison disease
• Using certain drugs that cause high potassium
• Diabetes
• Conn syndrome

Normal range of Potassium : 3.5 - 5.1 mmol/L
