[|Human|] My Urea and potassium are going up and down, one day they in range, the next they are not.  I am on ventolin to control the potassium,  My ct from neck to pelvis was normal.  My amylase is slightly elevated.  It has always been at the higher end of normal.  But is slightly out of range.  Could this be the steroid ventolin.   My liver enzymes are perfect.  My fbc is great, crp normal.  My renal/aldosterone is within range and cortisol.  What could be doing this.  My ana is reactive. 1:80
[|AI|]  Hi, First, Ventolin is not containing any steroid; instead, it contains albuterol, a beta2-a Chat Doctor.  It is true that Ventolin can interfere with the electrolyte balances, especially when it comes to decrease the levels of potassium by inducing the movement of K+ inside the body cells. This could explain the oscillations in potassium levels; however, I would recommend doing the tests as directed by your doctor. The increased level of amylase might be due to any problem to your pancreas, therefore, I could suggest to talk to your doctor for the possibility of an inflamed pancreas or acute pancreatitis. Hope it helped!
