[Pregnancy in a Patient with Gitelman Syndrome: a Case Report and Review of Literature]

Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a tubulopathy characterized by hypokaliemia, hypomagnesiemia, metabolic alkalosis and hypocalciuria. We report a case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman with Gitelman Syndrome. Oral potassium chloride and magnesium citrate were prescribed and the course of the pregnancy was uneventful with vaginal delivery at term. The impact of GS on the physiologic adaptations to pregnancy is not well-known, with few reports to date. Monitoring of serum potassium and magnesium levels with supplementation, amniotic fluid and fetal growth is required to prevent obstetrical and fetal complications in a patient with GS.
