An incidental finding of Gitelman's syndrome

M B Leonard et al. Br J Clin Pract. 1997 Mar.

Abstract

Gitelman's syndrome is characterised by hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia and tetany. This rare disorder is not well described in the literature, probably due to its similarity with Bartter's syndrome. We describe the symptoms and treatment of a young patient whom we consider to have Gitelman's syndrome.
