摘要
Abiraterone acetate is an androgen-depriving therapy (ADT) that is highly effective for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). By inhibiting CYP17, abiraterone can induce a state of mineralocorticoid excess, which is associated with profound hypokalemia. We present a case of abiraterone-related hypokalemia which led to torsades de pointes (TdP) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). We reviewed the literature and showed the need for close monitoring of the potassium level and electrocardiogram (ECG) to prevent fatal arrhythmias.
