Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Gitelman's syndrome is primary renal tubular hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with hypocalciuria and magnesium deficiency. It commonly presents with muscular symptoms which reflect hypokalemia. We present a case of 65 year old female patient presenting with delirium which on evaluation revealed persistent hypokalemia. Hypokalemia work up showed hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria and metabolic alkalosis. A diagnosis of Gitelman's syndrome was made. This case report aims at presenting the possibility of Gitelman's syndrome in patients presenting with features of hypomagnesemia.
