Title: Gitelman syndrome with insulin resistance:One case report
Abstract: One case of GS patient with insulin resistance was reported.The female patient aged 27 years was diagnosed as Gitelman syndrome by the typical biochemical pictures including renal wasting hypokalemia(2.62mmol/L),hypomagnesemia(0.33mmol/L),metabolic alkalosis(HCO-3 27.7mmol/L),hypocalciuria(1.25mmol/24h),high reninemic and aldosteronism and normal blood pressure.The patients showed a normal range glucose and a delay of insulin secretion peak of 120min after a glucose load.The insulin area under curve(AUCi)was 388.6.Oral potassium and magnesium supplementation were efficacious,so GS should be considered in the differential diagnosis for the patient with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia.
