Abdominal Obesity Is Associated With Potassium Depletion and Changes in Glucose Homeostasis During Diuretic Therapy
Abstract
The activation of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an important mechanism that contributes to hypertension in obese individuals. Thiazide diuretics also activate the RAS in response to volume contraction and can lead to a decrease in serum potassium values and glucose metabolism abnormalities. To evaluate the impact of abdominal obesity on potassium depletion and glucose homeostasis in hypertensive patients receiving thiazide therapy, the...
