Hypokalaemia is a clinical phenomenon in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) to which activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute. Recently monocytes were found to express renin, the key initializing enzyme of the RAS. By RT/PCR, transcripts for renin were detected in four of 18 bone marrow samples from patients with AML. Three leukaemic cell lines, isolated monocytes, bone marrow stromal cells and 25 peripheral blood and 24 bone marrow samples of normal controls were negative for renin transcripts. In view of the importance of local RAS in other tissues, the expression of renin in the bone marrow of AML patients warrants further investigation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007008 Hypokalemia Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
