Stewie, from my take, I know Depakote is a beast on labs, an absolute beast as well as antipsychotics such as Seroquel, and trileptol.... Push fluids, get the probiotis with enzymes, that's trypsin, I spelled it wrong up top... certain BP meds can cause it also, particularly ACE inhibitors. All I can say at this point as well as getting a glucose tolerance test or an HA1C... If your labs don't drop in a couple to weeks to 30 days or if they rise more than that on a follow up, the doc will probably ask you if you have felt any shortness of breath, chest pain or arrhythmic activity of any sort that you could tell. EKG may be ordered and he will give you sodium Kayexalate, this brings down K+......
TheBigOne,
Now, the last part of this I wrote just in case it is more to it than you just consuming too much..... AAS can cause K+ to rise but not very high and not often, and I am pretty sure your not experiencing and addisons/ addisonian crisis because you would know it....
But your Kidneys are working great, so not renal failure which would be the all out encompassing diagnosis for retained K+, but it would still be higher than your indicated.
Just follow up with your MD, so He can determine if there are any other significant changes.... Anything else we need to do bro? The more info the better.... I believe it is Depakote myself, but as long as it isn't sky high from a disease process or a poly-pharmacy (lots of medications), it isn't panic time, but I believe that High K+ with no changes over time requires and EKG to ensure your heart goes back to its resting phase properly as it fires electronically..... High K+ or low K+ can cause unstable and high excitability of the Heart, we don't want that.
