A member asked:
Is it normal for a patient diagnosed with gitelman syndrome to have high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually.: Gitelman's syndrome itself is not characterized by high blood pressure. Closely related syndromes may be associated but not this one. So people with Gitelman's syndrome may get hypertension, like any other person, but their chance of doing so is not increased because of having this genetic defect.
