Research Notes on Hypokalemia
An abnormally low level of potassium is called hypokalemia. The adrenal gland makes a hormone that signals the kidneys to excrete or conserve potassium, based on the body's needs. In hypokalemia, the adrenal gland retains the hormone and the kidneys conserve potassium when more is needed.
