Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) type II is an extremely rare disorder which presents with hypertension, hyperkalemia, and normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. PHA II is also known as familial hyperkalemic hypertension, Gordon syndrome, and chloride shunt syndrome. PHA II is an autosomal dominant disorder and is caused by mutation in WNK1, WNK4, CULLIN3, KLHL3, OSR, SPAK gene. The expression of these proteins is limited to the distal convoluted tube and collecting duct of the kidney. PHA II usually responds to salt restriction and thiazide diuretics. We are reporting here a case of 16-year girl who presented with generalised fatigue and shortness of breath, and blood pressure (BP) of 220/110 mmHg. Laboratory investigation showed hyperkalemia, normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, and hypercalciuria. Workup for secondary causes of hypertension was negative. She responded to thiazide diuretics and her BP is well controlled, and acidosis and hyperkalemia are corrected.
It was concluded that economically the broiler managed in group D (Herbitol @6ml/litre water) proved to be more profitable as compared to rest of the treatment groups and control group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
