Abstract

Gitelman's sydnrome is a heritable renal disorder characterized by hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia and hypocalciuria. As compared to those with Bartter's syndrome, reduced urinary excretion of calcium and magesium wasting are essential features of Gitelman's syndrome. Interestingly, we have experienced a case of 32-year old man with a mixed type of Gitelman's syndrome and Bartter's syndrome, which includes normomagnesemia, normal renal magnesium excretion, and hypocalciuria. Herein we report the case of atypical Gitelman's syndrome with brief review of related literature.
