Genotype-phenotype correlations in normotensive patients with primary renal tubular hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis.

Abstract excerpt

Among the different forms of hereditary renal tubulopathies associated with hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis and normotension, two main types of disorders have been identified: Gitelman disease, which appears to be a homogeneous post-Henle's loop disorder, and Bartter syndrome, a heterogeneous Henle loop disorder.
