ABSTRACT
Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, salt wasting, low blood pressure, and hypocalciuria. Gitelman's syndrome is generally considered to be benign, and muscle weakness may be the only manifestation of hypokalemia. To our knowledge, there have been no case reports of rhabdomyolysis due to severe hypokalemia of Gitelman's syndrome in Korea. We report a case of Gitelman's like syndrome presenting with paralysis of both lower extrimities and myalgia. Rhabdomyolysis caused by severe hypokalemia was diagnosed and recovered with supportive therapy, including the administration of 0.9% normal saline and KCl.
