Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphotericin B can cause electrolyte imbalances, specifically hypokalemia (low potassium levels). A serum potassium level of 2.7 mEq/L is indicative of hypokalemia and would require monitoring and potential potassium supplementation during therapy. The other lab values listed are within normal ranges and not necessarily indicative of adverse effects from amphotericin B therapy.
