Resumen

Olmesartán es un potente antagonista de los receptores de la angiotensina II utilizado habitualmente en el tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial.

Durante la última década se han descrito varios casos de enteropatía tipo esprúe asociados al uso de este fármaco, con afectación clínica severa que precisan hospitalización, pero afortunadamente con remisión completa tras la retirada del mismo.

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 82 años pluripatológica, con un síndrome diarreico crónico que derivó en una pérdida de 20kg de peso en los últimos tres meses. Para su hipertensión seguía doble terapia: olmesartán 40mg y lercanidipino 10mg/día.

Basado en los hallazgos de la paciente presentada, se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica de todos los casos publicados en revistas indexadas españolas (PubMed) y se comparan, intentando establecer un perfil de sospecha que promueva la suspensión de olmesartán y acelere las pruebas complementarias necesarias para descartar otros diagnósticos.

Abstract

Olmesartan is a potent angiotensin II receptor antagonist commonly used in the treatment of high blood pressure.

During the last decade, several cases of sprue-like enteropathy have been described associated with the use of this drug - with severe clinical involvement that requires hospitalization - but fortunately with complete remission after its discontinuation.

We present the case of a multi-pathological 82-year-old woman with a chronic diarrhoeal syndrome that resulted in a weight loss of 20kg over the last three months. She was prescribed dual therapy for her hypertension: olmesartan 40mg, torasemide 10mg, and lercanidipine 10mg/day.

Based on the findings of the patient presented, we conducted a literature search of all the cases published in Spanish indexed journals (PubMed) and compared them, attempting to establish a suspicion profile that would result in the suspension of olmesartan and accelerate the complementary tests necessary to rule out other diagnoses.
