    Author: Chavez M, Williams J.
    Journal: JAAPA; 2017 Jun; 30(6):22-25. PubMed ID: 28538425.
    Abstract:
    Hypokalemia can cause reactions from mild muscular cramping to life-threatening paralysis and cardiac dysrhythmias. This article describes a patient whose unusual, recurrent muscular symptoms and electrolyte abnormalities were eventually identified as Gitelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder resulting in severe refractory hypokalemia.
