In the extracellular fluid, an increase in K+ concentration above 5 mM can be life-threatening. Which ONE of the following could cause this condition? O A lack of aldosterone resulting from damaged adrenal glands. O Decreased parathyroid hormone release from the parathyroid glands. An increase in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) from the atria of the heart.
