Question: can ckd cause low potassium?
Answer: In summary, hypokalemia and hyperkalemia are often noted in those with CKD. Several clinical and demographic factors are associated with potassium disorders. Both serum potassium levels <4.0 mmol/l and >5.0 mmol/l are associated with all-cause mortality but not with ESRD in those with stage 3 and stage 4 CKD.
