A member asked:
Does a slightly low potassium and calcium blood level indicate kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Not necessarily, best to follow up. Sometimes corrected with diet and supplements. Slight fluctuations do not indicate failure, but more the need for monitoring and correction.
