Description : Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive renal tubular salt-wasting disorder characterized
by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. It is the
most common renal tubular disorder among Caucasians (prevalence of 1 in 40,000). Most
patients have onset of symptoms as adults, but some can present in childhood. Clinical
features include transient periods of muscle weakness and tetany, abdominal pains,
and chondrocalcinosis (summary by Glaudemans et al., 2012). For a complete description
of Bartter syndrome and a discussion of related disorders, see 607364. See also pseudoaldosteronism
(177200).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (SLC12A3, 600968.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypokalemia; Hypomagnesemia; Hypocalciuria;
