Abstract:

Pseudohypoaldesteronism (PHA) is a rare disease developing as a result of peripheral resistance to aldosterone and is characterized by salt loss. We present a 6-day-old newborn who was admitted to emergency care with poor enteral feeding and vomiting, with hyponatremia, hyperkalemia and elevated plasma aldosterone levels. Type 1 PHA was diagnosed due to resistance to the fluid replacement and steroid treatment. Genetic analysis showed homozygous SCNN1A mutation.
