Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A reason: In the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury, the creatinine level is expected to increase, not decrease, due to impaired kidney function and decreased filtration.

Choice B reason: The GFR is expected to decrease in acute kidney injury, not increase, as the kidneys' ability to filter

blood is compromised.

Choice C reason: Hyperkalemia, or high potassium levels in the blood, is a common finding in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury due to decreased excretion of potassium by the kidneys.

Choice D reason: Hypomagnesemia, or low magnesium levels, is not typically associated with the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. Instead, hypermagnesemia may occur due to decreased excretion of magnesium.
