Depending on what minerals that are lacking. Generally are just referred to hypo-natremic/kalamic/calcemic for like sodium, pottasium, calcium. This would then cause other signs and symptoms or diseases. Shortage of sodium could cause hypotension leading to syncope or more prone to cerabravascular accidents. Calcium for example could lead to more bone resorption thus osteoporosis, osteomalacia. Basically what i am trying to say is that shortages or excess of anything in the body can cause acute and chronic conditions if left untreated.
