AI Article Synopsis
- Potassium-wasting syndromes like Gitelman or Bartter syndrome need careful monitoring during pregnancy to avoid serious health risks for both the mother and baby.
- The case study discusses a severe instance of potassium-wasting syndrome that was effectively managed during pregnancy.
- The treatment involved administering a very high oral potassium intake, which led to a successful pregnancy outcome.
Article Abstract
Potassium-wasting syndromes, including Gitelman or Bartter syndrome, require close medical and biochemical review during pregnancy to reduce potentially severe complications, morbidity and mortality. We report a case of severe potassium-wasting syndrome managed successfully in pregnancy with extremely high oral potassium intake.

Sjogren's Syndrome Presenting as Hypokalemic Paralysis Secondary to Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Case Report.
Cureus
October 2024
Nephrology, Nephrology Associates of Yakima, Yakima, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease mainly affecting women, targeting glands like salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to symptoms such as dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis).
- - In adults, the most common kidney issue associated with SS is tubulointerstitial nephritis, often presenting as renal tubular acidosis (RTA), while this condition is less common in children, occurring in only 7.1-19.2% of cases.
- - The text describes a specific case of SS in a patient that resulted in hypokalemic paralysis due to an underlying condition of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).
Gitelman syndrome with primary hyperparathyroidism: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
August 2024
Division of Nephrology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder causing salt loss in the kidneys, but a patient with GS was newly diagnosed with hypercalcemia and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
- The patient had a long history of low potassium and magnesium levels, and lab tests confirmed GS alongside PHPT, highlighted by parathyroid hyperplasia.
- Treatment improved her potassium levels and joint pain, but managing her magnesium levels remained difficult due to increased urinary excretion caused by PHPT.

Renal Hypokalemia: An Endocrine Perspective.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
June 2024
Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA.
The majority of disorders that cause renal potassium wasting present with abnormalities in adrenal hormone secretion. While these findings frequently lead patients to seek endocrine evaluation, clinicians often struggle to accurately diagnose these conditions, delaying treatment and adversely impacting patient care. At the same time, growing insight into the genetic and molecular basis of these disorders continues to improve their diagnosis and management.
