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. Glycyrrhizae radix, pseudo-aldosteronism, intake, dosage
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
