        | Definition | 
        Serum K+ is normally maintained between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L. The plasma K+ is approximately 0.5 mmol/L lower with the difference accounted for by K+ release from cellular components. Hyperkalemia is defined as K+ levels more than 5.5 mmol/L in serum A greater than normal concentration of potassium ions in the circulating blood; may be due to tissue destruction, renal failure, and Addison´s disease Hyperkalemia: (noun) : the presence of an abnormally  high concentration of potassium in the blood -- called also  hyperpotassemia
