Answers:
They are probably just trying to make sure that his potassium is staying with in normal ranges!. it is a very important electrolyte for the body but causes serious problems if to high or to low!. they may also be checking his kidneys!. because of the hypertension!. hypertension causes profusion problems in the kidneys and can damage them!. that would cause problems with potassium too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, the increased white blood cell count indicates that there is an infection, and it could be a kidney infection!. The infection can cause large heart and hypertension!. Once the infection is under control, the other symptoms would lessen, I'd assume!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

all i know is the white cells are the infection fighting cells if they are increased that are multiplying to fight something off!.
potassium is found in bananas oes he eat a lot of them!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
