Abstract

Gastric losses by vomiting, cystic fibrosis, tubulopathies and endocrinopathies are the major factors associated with childhood hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. Hypocalemic patients resistant to fluid replacement therapy with suspected hyperaldosteronism and normal/low arterial blood pressure must be carefully evaluated for salt wasting tubulopathies. In this case report, we summarize a patient who presented to our clinic with vomiting and resistant hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and diagnosed as Gitelman syndrome.

Özet

Çocukluk çağında hipokalemik metabolik alkaloz sıklıkla kusmayla mideden kayıplara yol açan nedenler ile, kistik fibrozis, tübulopati veya endokrinopati varlığında görülmektedir. Sıvı tedavisine cevap vermeyen hipokalemisi olan hastalarda hiperaldosteronizm saptandığında, kan basıncı normal veya normalden düşük olarak bulunursa tuz kaybettiren tübulopatilerin araştırılması gerekir. Bu makalede, kliniğimize kusma yakınmasıyla başvuran ve dirençli hipokalemik metabolik alkalozu olan, Gitelman sendromu düşündüğümüz bir hasta sunulmuştur.
