    Can a potassium test detect metabolic acidosis or alkalosis?

    Yes, a potassium test can help identify metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, as these conditions often affect potassium levels. In acidosis, potassium may shift from cells to the bloodstream, causing hyperkalemia, while alkalosis can lead to hypokalemia. The test is vital for diagnosing and managing these acid-base disorders.
