| Brad | Posted At 16:26:40 07/06/2003 I recently had blood test done for a job that I am about to embark on. The blood tests came back that I have high levels of calcium-11 and potassium-5.5. I was wondering what some of the causes could be. Thanks for any information |

If I were you, I'd call my doctor and tell him/her the results of these recent lab tests and ask what the results may mean and whether the tests should be repeated and when. |
