MeSH Heading: Gitelman Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C12.050.351.968.419.815.491; C12.200.777.419.815.491; C12.950.419.815.491; C16.320.831.491
Unique ID: D053579
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053579
Scope Note: An inherited renal disorder characterized by defective NaCl reabsorption in the convoluted DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE leading to HYPOKALEMIA. In contrast with BARTTER SYNDROME, Gitelman syndrome includes hypomagnesemia and normocalcemic hypocalciuria, and is caused by mutations in the thiazide-sensitive SODIUM-POTASSIUM-CHLORIDE SYMPORTERS.
Entry Term(s): Familial Hypokalemia-Hypomagnesemia; Gitelman's Syndrome; Hypokalemia-Hypomagnesemia, Primary Renotubular, with Hypocalciuria; Hypomagnesemia-Hypokalemia, Primary Renotubular, with Hypocalciuria; Potassium and Magnesium Depletion; Primary Renotubular, Hypokalemia-Hypomagnesemia with Hypocalciuria; Primary Renotubular, Hypomagnesemia-Hypokalemia with Hypocalciuria; Tubular Hypomagnesemia-Hypokalemia with Hypocalcuria
