High potassium levels, can I still have surgery?

March 12, 2014

I am 28 years old female, about to get rhinoplasty next Wednesday, went for a pre-op testing and was called back today to come back and redo my blood work, cause my potassium is high. Will that stop me from getting the surgery done? And if so should i be refunded the money i paid for the surgery? Thank you in advance.
