ABSTRACT
Gitelman syndrome is a rare, inherited disorder. Hypokalemia, metabolic
alkalosis, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria are the characteristic
abnormalities of this syndrome. This syndrome can lead to
growth retardation and to rarely serious complications such as paralysis
and cardiac arrest. Therefore, early recognition and treatment are
important. In this paper we reported a young adulthood with classic
Gitelman syndrome. Electrolyte imbalances were resolved with treatment;
however, further growth wasn’t achieved since the epiphyses of
the patients had been closed.
