Sodium and chloride can be reabsorbed to some extent by the kidney, but potassium is not reabsorbed and is instead excreted in the urine. This is why excessive potassium intake can be dangerous, as it can lead to hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in the blood) if the body is not able to adequately excrete it through the kidneys.
