Abstract
Olmesartan is an antihypertensive medication belonging to the angiotensin II receptor blocker class of drugs that has recently been associated with severe enteropathy. Olmesartan-associated enteropathy is uncommon and may be difficult to recognize because of its clinical and histologic similarities to other clinical entities, including celiac sprue and autoimmune enteropathy. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical and histologic findings of olmesartan-associated enteropathy that have been reported in the literature and to discuss clinical entities to consider in the differential diagnosis of olmesartan-associated enteropathy.
