We report the case of a 47-year old woman with a long history of arterial hypertension. Because of a recent difficulty to control blood pressure values accompanied by hypokalaemia, a thorough investigation was performed, showing low renin and aldosterone blood levels and high urinary potassium levels. Repeated questioning revealed that the patient regularly consumed non-negligible quantities of liquorice-flavored chewing-gun. The physiopathogenic mechanisms of action of liquorice are reviewed.
我们报告了一例患有长期动脉高血压的47岁女性病例。由于近期难以控制血压值并伴有低钾血症，遂进行了全面检查，结果显示血肾素和醛固酮水平较低，尿钾水平较高。反复询问发现该患者经常食用数量不可忽视的甘草味口香糖。本文对甘草的生理致病作用机制进行了综述。
