==Sodium Loss and Hypotension==
Low carbohydrate diets cause of the kidneys to excrete more sodium. This is known as "natriuresis of starvation", and may be due to low insulin<ref name="Stenvinkel-1995"/>, increased dopamine excretion<ref name="Swaminathan-1983"/>, or elevated Glucagon<ref name="SaudekBoulter1973"/>. If carbohydrate and sodium intakes are both limited, then the body will secrete the hormone aldosterone<ref name="Phinney-2011-p312"/> which will cause the kidneys to excrete potassium and conserve sodium<ref name="Lote2012"/>. This loss of potassium can cause muscle cramps and heart arrhythmias, as well has the loss of muscle tissue.
==Vitamin or mineral deficiency==
==Growth reduction==
Children treated with the ketogenic diet can have growth reduction<ref name="Kossoff-2011-2533"/>. However, early uses of the ketogenic diet for epilepsy included calorie restriction below the recommended level for the child, as partial starvation was believed to be important for reducing seizures.
==Fatty Liver==
There are case reports of children on the [[MCT Diet]] having fatty infiltration of the liver. It's unclear how common this problem is. ("Fatty liver and medium chain triglyceride (MCT) diet.pdf").
==Fat Intake Imbalance==
