Hi, my levels of potassium get so bad that I have to infuse myself with a bag of Iv potassium (mix with saline) every day, otherwise my levels go down super-fast, and I end it up hospitalized. A couple weeks ago I went to "new" endocrinologist, and she decided to get to the bottom of the potassium situation, which was a surprise for me, since so many doctors (specialist) had no idea what was going on. Anyways she gave me a test called renin activity and that one came out low <0.167, it seems like that has a lot to do with the "potassium situation". I'm waiting to see her and figure out what is the next step, but obviously I already research like crazy, and there is some much information about it, I can't believe I couldn't find it before. Low renin hypertension - PMC (nih.gov) Good luck!!
