🔥 Hyperkalemia → In primary adrenal insufficiency, aldosterone deficiency reduces distal sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion, causing renal K+ retention and hyperkalemia.

🔥 Hyponatremia → Primary adrenal insufficiency lowers aldosterone (renal sodium wasting, hypovolemia) and cortisol (increased ADH, free-water retention), together producing dilutional and depletional hyponatremia.
