ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de Gitelman es una tubulopatía caracterizada por alcalosis metabólica hipopotasémica, hipomagnesemia e hipocalciuria. Sus efectos musculoesqueléticos son comunes, pudiendo provocar desarrollo de condrocalcinosis. Caso clínico: Paciente con condrocalcinosis de larga data asociada a hipomagnesemia crónica en tratamiento con calcio y magnesio. Tras la suspensión del tratamiento debido a una intervención quirúrgica presentó debilidad generalizada, alcalosis metabólica, hipopotasemia, hipomagnesemia e hipocalciuria con diagnóstico final de síndrome de Gitelman. Tras la instauración de tratamiento, mejoró clínica y analíticamente manteniendo cifras iónicas estables. Discusión y conclusiones: Resulta fundamental un adecuado diagnóstico de este tipo de tubulopatías, ya que un tratamiento adecuado evita complicaciones asociadas.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Gitelman syndrome is a renal tubule disease that involves hypokalaemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesaemia and hypocalciuria. The musculoskeletal effects of Gitelman syndrome are common, including the development of chondrocalcinosis. Clinical case: A female patient with long-standing chondrocalcinosis associated with chronic hypomagnesaemia on treatment with calcium and magnesium. After the suspension of the treatment due to surgery, she presented with a generalised weakness, metabolic alkalosis, hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia and hypocalciuria, with final diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome. After re-introducing the treatment, she improved clinically, with electrolytes remaining stable. Discussion and conclusions: A proper diagnosis of this type of tubular diseases is essential because an adequate treatment avoids associated complications.
