Gitelman Syndrome

Gitelman syndrome was described originally in 1966 by dr. Hillel Gitelman as a syndrome of hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, it was associated with metabolic alkalosis and RAAS activation:https://t.co/No8k7WkRxS The symptoms of…

Transcription factor HNF1β controls a transcriptional network regulating kidney cell structure and tight junction integrity

22 Dec 20229 Jan 2023

Mutations in the HNF1B gene cause autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD)-HNF1β, a rare and heterogenous disease characterized by renal cysts and/or malformation, maturity-onset diabetes of the young, hypomagnesemia and…

Calciprotein Particle Synthesis Strategy Determines In Vitro Calcification Potential

4 Nov 202210 Jan 2023

Circulating calciprotein particles (CPP), colloids of calcium, phosphate and proteins, were identified as potential drivers of the calcification process in chronic kidney disease. The present study compared CPP produced using…

Butyrate reduces cellular magnesium absorption independently of metabolic regulation in Caco-2 human colon cells

3 Nov 202210 Jan 2023

Digestion of dietary fibers by gut bacteria has been shown to stimulate intestinal mineral absorption [e.g., calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+)]. Although it has been suggested that local pH and…

Long-Read Sequencing Identifies Novel Pathogenic Intronic Variants in Gitelman Syndrome

27 Oct 20229 Jan 2023

Background - Gitelman syndrome is a salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic alkalosis and hypomagnesemia. It is caused by homozygous recessive or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in SLC12A3 , which encodes the Na+-Cl− cotransporter (NCC). In…

SLC41A1 knockout mice display normal magnesium homeostasis

19 Oct 20229 Jan 2023

Transcellular Mg2+ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the kidneys plays an important role in maintaining systemic Mg2+ homeostasis. SLC41A1 is a Na+/Mg2+ exchanger that mediates Mg2+ efflux from cells and is…
