Hyperkalemia is a common clinical feature of chronic renal failure due to the kidney's reduced ability to excrete potassium. Other symptoms like decreased urine output can be present but are less indicative early in the disease. Increased renal excretion of calcium is incorrect, as chronic renal failure more commonly leads to hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia.
