[Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of a patient with pseudohypoaldosteronism (author's transl)]. 1982

C Popow, and A Pollak, and K Herkner, and E Schober, and W Waldhäusl

We report about a girl, 22 months old, with pseudohypoaldosteronism. The clinical course was characterized mainly by renal salt loosing syndrome, complicated by suddenly occurring hyperkalemic phases and a complete inability of renal electrolyte and acid-base regulation. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia was excluded and the diagnosis based on renal salt wasting despite hyperaldosteronaemia and increased plasma renin activity. Diagnosis and therapy of pseudo-hypoaldosteronism are discussed as well as the problems of long-term oral sodium chloride substitution and long-term therapy with sodium-polystyrol-sulfonate, a cation-exchange resin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
