    Abstract:
    A 46-year-old-male developed acute renal failure (ARF) secondary to hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis. Potassium supplementation restored renal function following improvement of the rhabdomyolysis. After recovery from ARF, further evaluation disclosed he had hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, normotensive hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronism, renal hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus which are a diagnostic set of disorders in Gitelman's syndrome, a variant of Bartter's syndrome. This is the first reported case of ARF due to hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis associated with Gitelman's syndrome.
