Last year after a routine set of labs I was called by a doc in the Kaiser ER telling me to go to the ER right away, (my K was 6.4) that I might need to take some of the icky stuff if my potassium was still too high. I knew it was on the high side normally but that day certainly got my attention. The crappy part is I was already a stickler about it, so then I just went nuts. I've mellowed, I'm better at keeping track and at knowing what's what, that worse thing now is jealousy!!! Oh what I would give to eat fresh tomatoes, plates of them drizzled with good olive oil, and then whole cantalopes, followed up by dried white apricots. So I envy those that have no problems with their potassium. I'm happy to hear that post tx you're normal, eat some cantalope for me will ya?

In my case, potassium was my big issue - just a little bit too much and my level would go nuts. Now, post-tx, I am perfectly normal, but I still tend to watch that one the most. > > To edit your settings for the group, go to our Yahoo Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iga-nephropathy/ To unsubcribe via email, iga-nephropathy-unsubscribe Visit our companion website at www.igan.ca.
