Abstract

ROSSELLO AUBACH, Ll. et al. Gitelman syndrome and Chondrocalcinosis: a clinical case review. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.2, pp.63-66. ISSN 2173-2345.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2015000200004.

Gitelman syndrome is a tubulopathy of autosomal recessive inheritance which presents with, among other manifestations, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. We present the case of a woman of 68 years of age who came for a consultation due to arthritis in the large joints, in the absence of other symptomology. The X-ray study showed deposits of calcium pyrophosphate in the knees, pubic symphysis and other joints. Blood tests revealed hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria compatible with Gitelman syndrome, which was confirmed following a genetic study.

Keywords : Gitelman syndrome; chondrocalcinosis; hypomagnesemia.
