摘要
A case of primary aldosteronism with resistant hypokalemia is described. Oral potassium supplementation, triamterene and large doses of spironolactone were ineffective in raising the serum potassium level significantly. Amiloride, a new potassium-sparing diuretic, was studied in this patient and found to be extremely effective in correcting the hypokalemia and associated alkalosis. This agent appears useful in the preoperative management of patients with primary aldosteronism. © 1968.
