We describe a patient presenting with hypertension and hypokalaemia who was ultimately diagnosed with liquorice- induced pseudohyperaldosteronism. This rare cause of secondary hypertension illustrates the importance of a methodical approach to the assessment of hypertension.
我们描述了一名患有高血压和低钾血症的患者,最终被诊断为甘草诱发的假性醛固酮增多症。这种继发性高血压的罕见病因说明了对高血压评估采用系统方法的重要性。
