Description
BackgroundGitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder characterized by a distinct biochemical profile, including hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. Due to its often mild or nonspecific clinical presentation, GS is frequently misdiagnosed as idiopathic hypokalemia, leading to prolonged symptomatic treatment without a definitive etiologic diagnosis.
