Gitelman’s Syndrome: A Hereditary Disorder Characterized by Hypokalemia and Hypomagnesaemia
Gitelman’s syndrome is a type of hereditary tubular disorder, which is caused by inactive mutations in the gene, which encodes thiazide sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter (SLC12A3) in the distal convoluted tubule. Biochemical characteristic is comparable to effect of thiazide diuretics: hypokalemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypocalciuria, hypokalemic alkalosis and blood pressure is normal or lower...
متن کاملCesium-associated hypokalemia successfully treated with amiloride
Self-treatment of cancer with cesium chloride, despite proven lack of efficacy, continues to produce serious adverse effects. Among these is hypokalemia predisposing to life-threatening arrhythmia. The mechanism of cesium-associated hypokalemia (CAH) has not been described. We report urinary potassium wasting responsive to amiloride therapy in a cancer patient with CAH, and discuss possible mec...
متن کاملSchizophrenia Associated with Epileptiform Discharges without Seizures Successfully Treated with Levetiracetam
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia-like disorders can be divided into endogenic or primary, idiopathic, polygenetic forms, and different secondary, organic subgroups [e.g., (para)epileptic, immunological, degenerative]. Epileptic and paraepileptic explanatory approaches have a long tradition due to the high rate of electroencephalography (EEG) alterations in patients with schizophrenia. CASE PRESENTATI...
متن کاملLevetiracetam monotherapy for children and adolescents with benign rolandic seizures
To assess the efficacy, tolerability and safety of Levetiracetam (LEV) therapy, we identified 21 (15 male; 6 female) patients with a history of benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS), with and without secondarily generalization in children and adolescents aged between 5.0 and 12.1 years. LEV was administered as a first drug (number of patients=9) or converted after previous treatmen...
متن کاملDiuretic-associated hypomagnesaemia.
Clinically suspected hypomagnesaemia was confirmed in 21 patients over 12 months; all patients had been exposed to either short-term vigorous diuretic treatment or moderate-dosage long-term treatment. Magnesium depletion was compounded by a hospital diet surprisingly low in magnesium, a local soft water supply, and, in some patients, high alcohol intake. Common presenting symptoms included depr...
