Article Synopsis
- Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare condition caused by mutations affecting the sodium chloride transporter, leading to salt loss and symptoms like vertigo due to low blood volume.
- A study of 90 GS patients found that 22% reported vertigo, with almost half showing signs of vestibular dysfunction triggered by head movements.
- The findings suggest a connection between the sodium chloride transporter and inner ear function, indicating the need for healthcare providers to assess vestibular issues in GS patients for better management.
