- A 27-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease due to type 1 diabetes had been on hemodialysis for a year and received a kidney transplant from her healthy father.
- During the evaluation for donation, her father was discovered to have Gitelman's syndrome (GS), a rare condition.

Article Abstract
We present the case of a 27-year-old woman with end stage renal disease from Diabetes Mellitus type 1 who had been on hemodialysis for a year. Her father, who was otherwise healthy, was evaluated as a possible living donor. Incidentally, during the workup process, he was identified as having Gitelman's syndrome (GS). The transplant proceeded without any complications, following which the recipient developed biochemical abnormalities consistent with GS. Both donor and recipient are doing well at this time. To our knowledge, this is the only known case of kidney donation by a patient with GS either living or deceased.
