Topic 1

Liddle Syndrome

1.      Occurs due to gain of function mutation of ENaC (epithelial Sodium channels)
Autosomal Dominant inheritance.

2.      Since these ENaC persist independent of Mineralocorticoid stimulus, Sodium is constantly reabsorbed with loss of Potassium and Protons.

3.      Hence, Serum Sodium is high, with a low potassium and alkalosis. This is also referred to as Hypokalemic Hypertension

4.      In response to the dyselectrolemic changes, renin is suppressed, thereby lowering levels of aldosterone.

5.      Now, this state is a low aldosterone state, but looking at the dyselectrolemias, it looks as if the aldosterone levels are high, hence the name PSEUDO-hyperaldosteronism.

6.      For treatment, all we need is to inhibit these ENaC, for which we use Potassium sparing diuretics like Amiloride/Triamterene.
