aldosterone also increases to push K out.

[ArchivalUser]

i think plasma potassium would increase which in turn would increase the aldosterone levels. aldosterone acts to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the dct and so urinary potassium would increase. so in essence all 3 would increase. thats wut i think.

[ArchivalUser]

i think everything would increase...plasma K, urine K and aldosteron (to remove K )...
