Abstract:
Two theories have been suggested for the etiology of pseudo-aldosteronism with Glycyrrhizae radix intake : 1) Differing sensitivities to Glycyrrhizae radix between patients, 2) Differing daily Glycyrrhizae radix dosages between patients.We treated two patients who were relieved of their pseudo-aldosteronism, through a reduction in their daily Glycyrrhizae radix dosage. These cases suggest that Glycyrrhizae radix intake, rather than individual metabolic differences, influences the development of pseudo-aldosteronism.
