Critical Points in the Management of Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1 - Case Report

Abstract: Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA-1, MIM #264350) is caused by defective transepithelial sodium transport. Affected patients develop life-threatening neonatal-onset salt loss, hyperkalemia, acidosis, and elevated aldosterone levels due to end-organ resistance to aldosterone. In this report, we present a patient diagnosed as PHA-1 who had clinical and laboratory findings compatible with the diagnosis and had genetically proven autosomal recessive PHA-1. The patient received high doses of sodium supplementatio… Show more

“…PEG is a valuable option for administering an appropriate amount of fluid, sodium, and potassium-binding resins [29-32]. Peritoneal dialysis may also sometimes be required to correct hyperkalemia [30, 33, 34]. Although our cases had extremely high potassium levels, all were successfully managed with no dialysis being required.…”

“…Pri primarnem PHA1 ločimo avtosomno-dominantno dedno obliko, pri kateri je dokazana mutacija gena za mineralokortikoidne receptorje v ledvicah, in avtosomno-recesivno, pri kateri je spremenjen gen za epitelni natrijev kanalček (ENaC) in so prizadeti tudi drugi organi (6)(7)(8).…”

“…In addition, respiratory tract infections associated with PHA1 may be mistaken for symptoms of cystic fibrosis [7]. Such confusion delays diagnosis when prompt treatment of PHA1 is essential, as death may occur as a result of salt depletion and high blood potassium level [8].…”
