2. Cause: Kidney Failure or Disease

Kidneys are essential organs because they filter waste and excess fluid out of the body through urine. As a result, kidneys help regulate potassium levels, filtering out excess. When kidneys are failing or diseased they do not function properly, and potassium levels can begin to build. If experiencing kidney failure or disease, avoid foods high in potassium and limit dairy products.
