Four cases of pseudohyperaldosteronism due to chronic ingestion of liquorice-containing laxatives are described. All patients had hypertension and hypokalemia with suppression of plasma renin activity and aldosterone; the diagnosis was based only on retrospective grounds. In patients with hypokalemia and hypertension a possibility of such a cause must be excluded to avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
本文描述了4例因长期服用含甘草的泻药导致的假性醛固酮增多症病例。所有患者均有高血压和低钾血症，血浆肾素活性和醛固酮受到抑制；诊断仅基于回顾性依据。对于低钾血症和高血压患者，必须排除这种病因的可能性，以避免不必要的诊断程序。
