Sample Question: Hypokalaemic Hypertension

Which of the following may be responsible for a hypokalaemic hypertension?

• Bartter’s syndrome
• Diabetic nephropathy
• Liddle’s syndrome
• Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
• Type IV renal tubular acidosis (RTA)

Key Learning Point: Liddle’s syndrome is typically associated with hypokalaemic hypertension and low renin and aldosterone concentrations – the so-called pseudo-hyperaldosteronism.

Explanation: Liddle’s syndrome is typically associated with hypokalaemic hypertension and low renin and aldosterone concentrations – the so-called pseudo-hyperaldosteronism. Bartter’s syndrome is associated with hypokalaemia, though hypertension is not a feature. In type IV RTA, there is a hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism, which may also be produced with diabetic nephropathy, hence hyperkalaemia is more typical.
