Guys I know a trick for this Q and you'll never forget it. Listen:
K and P are intracell so when cell lysis, they increase. Also when a cell lysis protein breakdown leads to increase in Uric acid. In kidneys, increase in P is balanced with decrease in Ca. So you'll have Increase in K,P,UA and decrease in Ca.
