  • Title: Severe alkalosis and hypokalemia with stanozolol misuse.
    Author: Maini AA, Maxwell-Scott H, Marks DJ.
    Journal: Am J Emerg Med; 2014 Feb; 32(2):196.e3-4. PubMed ID: 24521609.
    Abstract:
    Stanozolol is a popular androgenic anabolic steroid, used by body builders and athletes for physical performance enhancement. There are few data on its potential adverse effects and no documented cases of it causing severe electrolyte imbalance. Here, we report a patient presenting to a tertiary care emergency department with reduced conscious level, profound hypokalemia, and severe metabolic alkalosis, resulting from stanozolol misuse. This is the first such case reported.
