pubmed:abstractText |
Low-carbohydrate diets are popular and fashionable for weight loss despite lack of evidence about long-term effects. Many individuals attempting to lose weight have hypertension, especially those with diabetes, and the prevalence of hyperaldosteronism among hypertensive patients is higher than previously recognized. We present a patient with Type 2 diabetes and previously undiagnosed hyperaldosteronism who developed life-threatening hypokalaemia while following a low-carbohydrate diet.
