Why addison cause hyperkalemia?

Addison's disease can cause hyperkalemia due to insufficient production of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body. When aldosterone levels are low, the kidneys cannot excrete potassium effectively, leading to its accumulation in the blood. This disruption in electrolyte balance can result in elevated potassium levels, contributing to various health issues, including cardiac problems.
