Your Potassium value of 4.3 mEq/L is normal. A good Potassium is usually between 3.6 and 5 mEq/L.
Keeping your potassium within a normal range can be largely influenced by your diet. For those suffering from a surplus of potassium, a low-potassium diet may be necessary. Salt substitutes should be avoided, and diuretic medication may be recommended by a doctor. Similarly, attention to diet can assist those with low levels of potassium.
