Mitochondria are essential for the homeostasis of
every cell except red blood cells.1 Therefore,
mitochondrial disorders cause a wide range of clinical
presentations; however, organs with higher aerobic
metabolism tend to be more severely affected.1 These
symptoms, although severe, can be non-specific.
Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a primary renal tubular
disorder with hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis,
hypocalciuria, and magnesium deficiency.2 Gitelman
et al described it in 1966, in 3 female patients, 22-
47 years old. It is more typical of adults and age at
presentation is usually 5 years or more. Failure to thrive
and short stature has been described occasionally,
and it could be included as an association.3 However,
recently 3 cases of GS and growth hormone (GH)
deficiency were reported,4,5 and considered as a new
phenotype of GS with a new complex hereditary
renal-tubular-pituitary syndrome.5 We report another
case of GS that was associated with GH deficiency,
partial adrenocortical hormone (ACTH) deficiency,
and mitochondrial encephalopathy |
