HYPERALDOSTERONISM
DEFINITION |
|
|
Hyperaldosteronism is an illness defined by food
binges, or recurrent episodes of significant overeating, that are
accompanied by a sense of loss of control. The affected person then
uses various methods -- such as vomiting or laxative abuse -- to
prevent weight gain.
Someone with hyperaldosteronism may also suffer from anorexia nervosa, an
eating disorder involving severe, chronic weight loss that proceeds
to starvation, but many bulimics do not suffer from anorexia. |
