Which electrolytes require a kidney disease warning?

K, Mg
Na, Ca
Ca, Mg
Na, K

The correct answer is: K, Mg

Electrolytes are minerals that are essential for proper body functioning. Kidneys play an important role in regulating the levels of electrolytes in our body. Hence, if there is a problem with the kidneys, it can impact the levels of electrolytes in the body. Therefore, certain electrolytes may need a kidney disease warning. In this question, the correct answer is A - K and Mg. This is because the levels of potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) can be affected by kidney disease. Option B is incorrect because while sodium (Na) levels may also be impacted by kidney disease, calcium (Ca) does not generally require a kidney disease warning. Similarly, option C is also incorrect as only calcium (Ca) and not magnesium (Mg) require a kidney disease warning. Option D is incorrect as sodium (Na) and potassium (K) do not require a kidney disease warning, only potassium (K) does.
