A case of Gitelman's syndrome with chondrocalcinosis.

چکیده
A 45-year-old Japanese woman, treated for Bartter's syndrome for 14 years, presented with complaints of numbness in her extremities and polyarthralgia. She was diagnosed to have Gitelman's syndrome with chondrocalcinosis, which were effectively treated with spironolactone and magnesium supplementation. Gitelman's syndrome is a primary renal tubular disorder characterized by hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria with normal calcemia. The persistent hypomagnesemia is one of the causes of chondrocalcinosis, and many cases of Bartter's syndrome with hypomagnesemia are associated with chondrocalcinosis attributed to a tubular magnesium defect. We summarize the reported cases with Bartter's syndrome and chondrocalcinosis, referring to the possibility of Gitelman's syndrome.

Gitelman's syndrome is a variant of Bartter's syndrome characterized by hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia. The administration of thiazide diuretics may induce a subnormal increase of urinary Na+ and Cl- excretion in patients with Gitelman's syndrome, consistent with the hypothesis that less Na+ and Cl- than normal is reabsorbed by the thiazide-inhibitable transporter in Gitelman's syndrome. Spec...

متن کاملCase Report: Cervical chondrocalcinosis as a complication of Gitelman syndrome
Gitelman syndrome is an inherited tubulopathy leading to a hypokalaemic metabolic alkalosis with hypomagnesaemia and hypocalciuria. Most cases are due to mutations in SLC12A3, encoding the apical thiazide sensitive co-transporter in the distal convoluted tubule. Musculoskeletal effects of Gitelman syndrome are common, including muscle weakness, tetany and cramps. Chronic hypomagnesaemia can lea...
