The syndrome of hypertension and hyperkalaemia without renal failure: long term correction by thiazide diuretic

R D Gordon et al. Scott Med J. 1986 Jan.

Abstract

An excellent response to treatment with thiazide diuretic for twelve years is described in a patient with Gordon's Syndrome, the first to be reported from Scotland, and only the second to manifest the full clinical picture of short stature, hypertension, hyperkalaemia and hyperchloraemic acidosis without renal failure. The hypertension and biochemical abnormalities were reversed during therapy. Temporary withdrawal after seven years was followed by the immediate return of all the biochemical abnormalities, but not of the hypertension.
