    What Does a High Potassium Level Indicate in a KFT Test?

    High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in a KFT indicate reduced kidney filtration, often seen in chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). Hyperkalemia can also result from certain medications (e.g., ACE inhibitors) or excessive potassium intake. Elevated potassium poses serious risks, including irregular heart rhythms, and requires prompt medical intervention through dietary changes, medications, or dialysis in severe cases.
