Descriptor síndrome de Gitelman
Scope note: Trastorno renal hereditario caracterizado por una defectuosa reabsorción de ClNa en el TÚBULO RENAL DISTAL, que da lugar a HIPOPOTASEMIA. En contraste con el SÍNDROME DE BARTTER, el síndrome de Gitelman comprende hipomagnesemia e hipocalciuria normocalcémica y es causado por mutaciones del COTRANSPORTADOR DE SODIO-POTASIO-CLORURO sensible a tiacidas.

Scope note: An inherited renal disorder characterized by defective NaCl reabsorption in the convoluted DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE leading to HYPOKALEMIA. In contrast with BARTTER SYNDROME, Gitelman syndrome includes hypomagnesemia and normocalcemic hypocalciuria, and is caused by mutations in the thiazide-sensitive SODIUM-POTASSIUM-CHLORIDE SYMPORTERS.
