High Potassium on Aspirin

[TubZy]

Saw these two threads on RPF, both complaining of high potassium with chronic aspirin use. My guess is that since aspirin tanks potassium in the cell this causes serum levels to rise since it is not being used up?

Thoughts?

aspirin is an acid, as any acid it will get potassium out of the cell . Any acid is anti metabolic. The reason why aspirin helps stuff, since aspirin provides hydrogen.
