Hypokalemia Warning! Low potassium just cramps. Monitor patients for characteristic ECG changes—flat T waves, U waves, and ST depression—which signal increased risk of dangerous ventricular arrhythmias.

Not all kidney stones stones pass easily. If a stone is more than 5 mm or it causes persistent obstruction and/or infection, interventions like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be necessary. Early intervention
