Hipertiroidili Bir Hastada Hipokaleminin Nadir Nedeni: Gitelman Sendromu

Hipokalemi sık görülen elektrolit bozukluklarından biridir. Azalmış potasyum alımı, hücre içine artmışpotasyum geçişi, gastrointestinal sistemden ya da üriner sistemden artmış potasyum kaybı, ilaçlar gibipek çok faktör hipokalemiye neden olabilir. Gitelman sendromu hipokaleminin eşlik ettiği nadir görülenotozomal resesif hastalıktır. Burada hipertiroidi nedeniyle tetkik edilirken Gitelman sendromu tanısıkonulan bir olguyu sunduk.

A Rare Reason of Hypokalemia in a Hyperthyroid Patient: Gitelman Syndrome

Hypokalemia is one of the commonly observed electrolyte disturbances. Many factors like decreased potassium intake, increased intracellular potassium influx, increased excretion from the gastrointestinal system or urinary tract, and drugs can cause hypokalemia. Gitelman syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease associated with hypokalemia. Here, we presented a case who was examined for hyperthyroidism and finally diagnosed as Gitelman syndrome.
