YES! in fact, if it is not monitored, it can raise blood potassium to dangeriously high levels that can cause the heart's normal rythm to be disrupted.
An increase in heat causes blood vessels to dilate, which increases blood flow in the body.
Yes, heat can increase blood flow in the body by dilating blood vessels and improving circulation.
Excess blood potassium (hyperkalemia) is typically removed by increasing the secretion of aldosterone. Aldosterone stimulates the kidneys to increase the secretion of potassium by cells within the kidney nephrons, promoting the excretion of excessive potassium from the body through urine.
Yes, blood flow increases during exercise to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and remove waste products.
The relationship between blood flow through a vessel and the radius of the vessel can be expressed as BF=1/pi r4 (where pi is equal to 3.14.....). So a change in the radius of a vessel has a large effect on the blood flow through the vessel.

potassium
Loperamide is an anti-diarrheal medicine. The drug itself is not related to an increase in potassium on a blood test. However, having diarrhea can cause you to lose potassium and other minerals. So that a blood test taken before the drug is used can show a low potassium level. When the diarrhea stops, the potassium level will increase.
magnesium, potassium, and calcium
No, applying ice causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the area. Ice helps to decrease inflammation and swelling by restricting blood flow. Heat, on the other hand, can increase blood flow and promote healing in some situations.
Increase
Lab values that are not affected by sluggish blood flow include electrolyte levels (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), creatinine, and thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH). These values are typically not influenced by the rate of blood flow through the body.
increase in the diameter of blood vessel. it increases the blood flow
vasoconstriction
Except in cases of massive blood loss, it's not the job of the vessels to increase or decrease blood flow, but of the capillary beds.
