It is a salt-losing renai tubulopathy that is characterized by hypokaiaemia, hypomagnesaemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypocalciuria and hyperre-mnemic-hyperaidosteronism. This case study describes a 16-year-old girl with two undi-agnosed episodes of normocaicaemic tetary. Following the third manifestation of tetany, a large battery of laboratory tests was performed and, based on these data, clinical diagnosis of Gitelman s syndrome was made.
