 AB    In summary, patients with HIV infection may develop a bewildering
       variety of electrolyte and acid-base disturbances. Hyponatremia from
       many causes is common and associated with an increased mortality.
       Potassium disorders are frequent, with hyperkalemia, even to
       life-threatening levels, more common than hypokalemia. Disturbances in
       calcium and uric acid homeostasis are less frequent. Acid-base disorders
       also complicate the clinical course of AIDS and, as with the electrolyte
       perturbations, may result from HIV infection itself, the illnesses
       associated with AIDS, or medications.
