Oliguria, weakness, and decreased deep tendon reflexes can indicate renal failure, which can elevate creatinine levels, cause hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia are not typically associated with these symptoms. Increased red blood cell count would not be directly related to the renal failure.
