and high glucose levels in the blood work together to cause fluid and potassium to move out of the cells into the blood circulation.

However, a lack of potassium may result in the kidney not absorbing calcium properly, leading to the creation of kidney stones. (3) Studies have shown that high potassium intake lowers kidney stone risk, and a deficiency may cause lead to the development of painful stones. (3) 4. Other ...
Low potassium: Low potassium blood levels occasionally cause muscle cramps, although it is more common for low potassium to be associated with muscle weakness. High Calcium: Rarely, high levels of calcium may cause muscle twitching and cramping. Rest cramps: Cramps at rest are very common, especi...
