A Case Of Postileostomy Hypovolemia Presenting As Pseudohypoaldosteronism With Complete Resolution After Ostomy Reversal

Abstract: Objective: To report a rare case of postileostomy hypovolemia presenting as pseudohypoaldosteronism with complete resolution after ostomy reversal. Methods: Clinical and biochemical data and extensive relevant literature review are provided. Results: A 65-year-old female was found to have a large rectal tubular adenoma 10 cm from the anal verge on colonoscopy. She underwent open resection of the polyp and diverting loop ileostomy. Six weeks later, she presented with low appetite, a 17-pound weight loss, and hy… Show more

“…In some severe cases, PHA may develop (15)(16)(17). Only a few case reports indicated patients with secondary PHA due to excessive gastrointestinal losses through ileostomy, and the condition resolved when the ileostomy was closed (17)(18)(19)(20). In our case series, we examined serum aldosterone level in patients with high output stoma while patient had body weight loss or electrolyte imbalance.…”

“…3 Conversely, Niyazov et al speculated that a chronic increase in the aldosterone levels may induce the downregulation of the mineralocorticoid receptor, thus contributing to the development of secondary PHA. 4 Furthermore, preterm infants have been reported to be susceptible to hyponatremia despite their increased renineangiotensinealdosterone system, possibly because of tubular immaturity. 5 Therefore, we consider that preterm infants with ileostomy potentially have renal tubular resistance to aldosterone and are at a risk of developing secondary PHA triggered by profound volume depletion.…”
