• Check HCT: > 40% = ECFV contraction
• ↑HCO3 - Bicarbs
  1. causes intracellular shift of K Potassium (3.5-5) → Hypokalemia - ↓K (<3.5)
  2. Through Ammoniagenesis → ↓ K⁺, H⁺ in body (increased secretion via H⁺/K⁺-ATPase ) → more alkalosis → even harder to correct the hypokalemia (because alkalosis drives K⁺ into cells)
