We present a 71-year-old man admitted to the intensive care unit with severe hypokalemia after ingesting licorice-containing confectionary over 6 weeks. Excess consumption of licorice with its active metabolite glycyrrhizic acid may precipitate pseudohyperaldosteronism with life-threatening hypokalemia. Public awareness and measures such as warning labels are needed to warn against excessive consumption.
我们报告一名71岁男性,因在6周内食用含甘草的糖果后出现严重低钾血症而入住重症监护病房。过量食用甘草及其活性代谢物甘草酸可能引发假性醛固酮增多症,并伴有危及生命的低钾血症。需要提高公众意识并采取如警示标签等措施,以警告人们避免过量食用。
