Purpose: Data on the seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in heamodialysis (HD) patients are conflicting, ranging from 0 to 44%. The aim of this study was to determine the HEV seroprevalence and risk factors among HD patients in Croatia.

Methods: A total of 394 HD patients from six medical facilities in five Croatian cities (three sites in the continental and three sites in the coastal region) were tested for HEV IgM/IgG antibodies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

In this article six patients with hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, classified as Bartter or Gitelman syndrome are presented. Both syndromes result from different gene mutation inducing impaired function of the transporters involved in sodium, chloride and potassium reapsorption in thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubules. These syndromes typically present with hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism without hypertension, polyuria and muscle weakness.
