Treating abnormal potassium levels is aimed at addressing the root cause, with hypokalemia management including potassium supplements and dietary changes, and hyperkalemia treatment involving medications to lower potassium, dietary restrictions, and sometimes emergency interventions to rapidly decrease high levels.


Serum Potassium Analysis plays a crucial role in evaluating the body's potassium balance, aiding in the diagnosis and management of electrolyte imbalances. Regular monitoring is often required for those at risk of potassium imbalances, ensuring conditions are managed.
