Abstract

Gittelman's syndrome (GS), also called Gittelman's variant of Bartter's syndrome, is an autosomal recessive renal disorder characterized by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, metabolic alkalosis, and hypocalciuria. GS is caused by inactivating mutations in the thiazide-sensitive Na/Cl co-transporter gene.The most common symptoms are weakness, muscle weakness and cramps, tetany, fatigue, nocturia and polydipsia. We reported a 26 year old female treated for these symptoms for 10 years and diagnosed as Gittelman's Syndrome and cured by magnesium.
