Journal ArticleDOI
Use of calcium excretion values to distinguish two forms of primary renal tubular hypokalemic alkalosis: Bartter and Gitelman syndromes.
Alberto Bettinelli,Mario G. Bianchetti,Eric Girardin,Angela Caringella,Milvia Cecconi,Aldo Claris Appiani,Luigi Pavanello,Roberto Gastaldi,Clementina Isimbaldi,Giuliana Lama,Carlo Marchesoni,Chiara Matteucci,Pierluigi Patriarca,Berardo Di Natale,Carmen Setzu,Pasqua Vitucci +15 more
TL;DR: The Bartter and Gitelman syndromes represent two distinct variants of primary renal tubular hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and are easily distinguished on the basis of urinary calcium levels.
Journal Article
Novel molecular variants of the Na-Cl cotransporter gene are responsible for Gitelman Syndrome
Nadia Mastroianni,Alberto Bettinelli,Mario G. Bianchetti,Giacomo Colussi,M. De Fusco,Fabio Sereni,Andrea Ballabio,Giorgio Casari +7 more
TL;DR: 12 additional mutations consistent with a loss of function of the Na-Cl cotransporter in GS are shown, including two missense replacements and six missense mutations that could represent ancient mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic heterogeneity in tubular hypomagnesemia-hypokalemia with hypocalcuria (Gitelman's syndrome)
Alberto Bettinelli,Mario G. Bianchetti,Paola Borella,Elena Volpini,M. G. Metta,E. Basilico,Angelo Selicorni,Annamaria Bargellini,Maria Rosa Grassi +8 more
TL;DR: It seems that this genetic heterogeneity is associated with a different clinical expression with frequent tetanic episodes and lower plasma potassium and magnesium levels in the autosomal recessive form, and there are two different types of genetic transmission of GS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac work up in primary renal hypokalaemia-hypomagnesaemia (Gitelman syndrome)
Pietro E. G. Foglia,Alberto Bettinelli,Camillo Tosetto,Cinzia Cortesi,Laura Crosazzo,Alberto Edefonti,Mario G. Bianchetti +6 more
TL;DR: The QT interval is often prolonged in primary renal hypokalaemia-hypomagnesaemia, confirming that potassium and magnesium depletion tends to prolong the duration of the action potential of the cardiomyocyte.
Journal Article
Behavioral and functional abnormalities linked with recurrent urinary tract infections in girls.
TL;DR: Most girls referred for evaluation of three or more symptomatic urinary tract infections have host-mediated predisposing abnormalities: infrequent voiding, poor fluid intake, functional stool retention or voiding dysfunction.
