Potassium is an electrolyte that is important for proper muscle and nerve function. Abnormal levels of potassium may indicate kidney disease, dehydration, or other health problems.

iollo markers that associate with Potassium

​
Acetylcarnitine

Acetylcarnitine, a derivative of carnitine, is also involved in fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism which can impact potassium homeostasis

Carnitine

Carnitine is involved in fatty acid metabolism and can affect potassium levels by altering cellular energy production and membrane potential

Propionylcarnitine

Propionylcarnitine, another carnitine derivative, reflects propionyl-CoA levels which can disrupt the citric acid cycle and alter potassium balance
