Regarding the pathophysiology of kidney disease, evaluate the propositions:

I.Diabetic nephropathy often causes hypokalemia in the early stages of kidney failure due to renal tubular alkalosis. For treatment, the use of thiazide diuretics is indicated, which reduce potassium excretion and increase the salt load in the collecting duct.
II.Diseases such as hypothyroidism and systemic lupus erythematosus promote excessive release of salt and water by the kidneys, primarily due to a disturbance in the regulation of renal microcirculation and tubular function, mediated by the release of prostaglandins, cytokines, and other inflammatory factors.
III.Loop diuretics can worsen the formation of urinary casts in multiple myeloma and light-chain nephropathy by increasing chloride concentration, which enhances the secretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein, facilitating its aggregation with Bence Jones proteins.
