What causes high Potassium and low TSH 3?
High Potassium and low TSH 3 can be caused by many reasons.
If your Potassium is in between 3.5 mmol/L and 5.1 mmol/L and your TSH 3 is in between 0.55 uIU/mL and 4.78 uIU/mL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Potassium and TSH 3 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
