Diuretic‐Induced Potassium Depletion and Glucose Intolerance Are Not Related to Hyperactivity of the Renin‐Angiotensin‐Aldosterone System in Hypertensive Patients With the Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MS) has been associated with hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). To assess the hypothesis that diuretic therapy in MS patients through further stimulation of RAAS would elicit greater potassium (K) depletion, two groups of hypertensive patients with (MS group [MSG]; n=20) and without (control group [CG]; n=19) MS were studied. Plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone (PA), and K levels were...
