  • 11β-HSD defic. (→ lack of inactivation of cortisol, which binds to mineralocorticoid recept.)
  • Liddle’s syndrome (constitutively activated/overexpressed distal tubular renal Na channel)
  • Black licorice (glycyrrhizic acid inhibits 11β-HSD), extreme hypercortisolism (overwhelming 11β-HSD), exogenous mineralocorticoids
