Gitelman syndrome is a tubulopathy of autosomal recessive inheritance which presents with, among other manifestations, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. We present the case of a woman of 68 years of age who came for a consultation due to arthritis in the large joints, in the absence of other symptomology. The X-ray study showed deposits of calcium pyrophosphate in the knees, pubic symphysis and other joints. Blood tests revealed hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria compatible with Gitelman syndrome, which was confirmed following a genetic study.
Palabras Clave: Gitelman syndrome, chondrocalcinosis, hypomagnesemia.
