  • Title: Life threatening hyperkalemia in a neonate with pseudo-hypoaldosteronism.
    Author: Choudhry S, Najam Y.
    Journal: J Pak Med Assoc; 2012 Mar; 62(3):287-8. PubMed ID: 22764468.
    Abstract:
    Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 is a rare disorder characterized by renal resistance to aldosterone which may present with a salt wasting crisis in infancy. We report a neonate with hyponatremia, severe dehydration and refractory life threatening hyperkalemia who was treated with dietary sodium chloride supplementation, potassium binding resins and fluid replacement therapy which proved to be lifesaving.
