Familial Hypokalemic Alkalosis: Gitelman’s Syndrome
Gitelman’s syndrome is one of the major variant of familial hypokalemic alkalosis syndromes, presenting with hypocalciuria, hypomagnesemia, and sodium and cloride wasting, which results in hyperreninemia and hyperaldosteronism.

Renal phosphate handling in Gitelman syndrome—the results of a case-control study [PDF]
Background: Patients with Gitelman syndrome, a hereditary salt-wasting tubulopathy, have loss-of-function mutations in the SLC12A3 gene coding for the thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride co-transporter in the distal convoluted tubule.

Animal models of hypertension and concurrent organs injury
Although hypertension is a frequently seen chronic condition across the world, its exact cause remains unclear. Animal models are beneficial for clarifying the pathogenic mechanism of hypertension and examining new treatments. An optimal animal model for studies on hypertension must well mimic human‐like hemodynamics and pathophysiological structural ...

Abstract Renal potassium wasting syndromes, such as Gitelman's syndrome (GS), are well documented in humans but rarely reported in veterinary medicine. This case describes a 6‐month‐old domestic medium‐hair cat presenting with chronic hypokalaemia, polyuria and polydipsia. Diagnostic evaluation revealed hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypochloraemia

Characterisation of the Cullin-3 mutation that causes a severe form of familial hypertension and hyperkalaemia [PDF]
Deletion of exon 9 from Cullin‐3 (CUL3, residues 403–459: CUL3Δ403–459) causes pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIE (PHA2E), a severe form of familial hyperkalaemia and hypertension (FHHt).

Novel Pathogenic Genotype in SLC12A3 Associated to Gitelman Syndrome: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Gitelman syndrome (GS) is considered one of the most common hereditary renal tubular disorders, characterised by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, and metabolic alkalosis. The primary cause of this disorder resides in the SLC12A3 gene, which encodes the NaCl cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, and for which more than 500 ...

ABSTRACT This case highlights an unusual presentation of Bartter Syndrome Type 3 marked by hypocalciuria and opisthotonus posture. Recognizing such atypical neuromuscular signs is essential for early diagnosis, genetic confirmation, and targeted management in pediatric patients with electrolyte imbalances.
