No. If your body is healthy, it regulates your blood potassium level within a very tight range. If your potassium level were abnormal, clotting would be the least of your problems.

This is frequently confused for two reasons: First, vitamin K levels do have a significant effect on clotting and the chemical symbol for potassium is "K". Second, some drugs that are used to control clotting can affect your potassium levels, so people may incorrectly pass on advice from their doctors about potassium and clotting that only applies to them because of the specific medications they take.
