HIGH LDH AND POTASSIUM

Can anyone tell me what a high LDH (264) and a slightly high potassium (256) mean?? Am I in trouble? Numbers just came thru and it's Friday night here in the US and no doctors around to ask. Something else to stress me over the weekend. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Hi tennissenior,

Sorry, the USA lab results don't corelate to the UK ones so it's difficult to know. What I would say is that if your Potassium was dangerously high you would be in hospital as it can affect your cardiac function. I hope you get answers soon.
