Hyperkalemia is a condition where the extracellular concentration of K+ is significantly increased. Which of the following is an effect of hyperkalemia?
A) resting potential will become more negative
B) increased difficulty in action potential generated
C) decreased membrane threshold
D) decreased urine production
The correct answer here is C, and the book explains that it's because the K+ outside will prevent the K+ inside from leaking out. This leads to an overall more positive...
