  • Title: Pseudohyperaldosteronism due to application of an antihemorrhoid cream.
    Author: Marin F, González Quintela A, Moya M, Suárez E, de Zárraga M.
    Journal: Nephron; 1989; 52(3):281-2. PubMed ID: 2739869.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of pseudohyperaldosteronism produced by the application of an antihemorrhoid cream containing 9 alpha-fluoroprednisolone are reported. All three presented edema, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Two of the patients also exhibited slight arterial hypertension. This iatrogenic possibility must be ruled out in cases of hypermineralocorticoidism, thus avoiding unnecessary and costly examinations.
