  • Title: Hypokalemia in acute myelogenous leukemia.
    Author: Perry MC, Bauer JH, Farhangi M.
    Journal: South Med J; 1983 Aug; 76(8):958-61. PubMed ID: 6348961.
    Abstract:
    Forty-two patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or one of its variants were studied at diagnosis to determine the incidence and cause(s) of hypokalemia. Forty-three percent of patients were hypokalemic, and an inappropriate renal loss of potassium was noted. This potassium wastage could not be explained by antibiotic-induced renal tubular dysfunction, lysozymuria, or alterations in renin-aldosterone secretion.
