| Findings similar to those in primary aldosteronism such as hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and low plasma renin activity caused by chronic ingestion of licorice (the root of glycyrrhiza glabra) and/or licorice-like compounds (such as carbenoxolone), or triazole antifungals (posaconazole and itraconazole). Plasma aldosterone levels are low rather than elevated as in primary aldosteronism. |
