Low potassium and low carbon dioxide

[Chavo2000]

Those two labs are low... Is being called in for more lab work.

This a strong sign that it's chronic kidney disease?

Thanks for your response.

I Googled low potassium and low co2 and kidney disease came up.

I don't think there is a infection present

A strong sign of kidney disease would be protein (creatine?) in urine.  

Perhaps combined with the absence of infection (as infection might weaken the kidney leading to incidental protein in urine), and infection is usually readily cured so would not be seen as chronic kidney disease.

I could google up the science on it, but I'm reasonably confident that low potassium and low carbon dioxide have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with kidneys.
