losartan and Hypokalemia

losartan has been researched along with Hypokalemia in 4 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Hypokalemia: Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction intolerant to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and treated with either high- or low-dose losartan, incident hypokalemia had a stronger association with poor outcomes than incident hyperkalemia."4.31High- Versus Low-dose Losartan and Serum Potassium: An Analysis From HEAAL. ( Ferreira, JP; Kiernan, MS; Konstam, M; Rossignol, P; Zannad, F, 2023)
" (3) Five clinical trials have evaluated angiotensin II receptor antagonists (candesartan, losartan and valsartan) in terms of their effect on mortality and on the risk of clinical deterioration in patients with symptomatic heart failure, but without severe renal failure, hyperkalemia or hypotension."3.73Angiotensin II receptor antagonists and heart failure: angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors remain the first-line option.
