#Hypokalemia enhances ammoniagenesis in PT, ⬆️H secretion and HCO3 reabsorp. inPT, activates H/ATPase, Cl/HCO3 in A-interc.cells, induces the expression and activity of the nongastric H/KATPase in CD and ⬇️the expression of the HCO3 secreting transporter pendrin in B-interc.cells

#Magnesium is primarily an intracellular cation stored in bone, muscle, and soft tissue, with only 1% of #magnesium present in the extracellular fluid. Of this 1%, about ⅓ is plasma protein bound, and the remaining ⅔ is freely filtered through the kidney.
