Аннотация
BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis of diarrhoea in combination with villous atrophy is broad. Coeliac disease heads the list but medication-induced villous atrophy should also be taken into consideration.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We report the case of a 63-year-old man presenting with recurrent secretory diarrhoea, acute renal failure and metabolic acidosis. Initial work-up revealed total villous atrophy (Marsh stage IIIC) with intraepithelial lymphocytosis. A gluten-free diet did not have any effect on the diarrhoea. During several periods of hospitalization antihypertensive medications were temporarily stopped due to dehydration; this resulted in reduction of his symptoms. Eventually an association between the enteropathy and the antihypertensive olmesartan was suspected. Indeed, permanent withdrawal of olmesartan resulted in permanent clinical improvement.
CONCLUSION: Olmesartan is frequently prescribed in the Netherlands and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of diarrhoea accompanying villous atrophy.
