A 36-year-old woman developed hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis after anti SS-A antibody was found to be positive. Diuretic loading test results were compatible with Gitelman syndrome (GS). The patient had a heterozygous mutation in SLC12A3, which encodes for thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCCT). While the mutation may be responsible for a latent hypofunction of NCCTs, the underlying anti-SSA antibody-associated autoimmunity induced the manifestation of its hypofunction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate that anti SS-A antibody-associated autoimmunity may induce GS in a patient with a SLC12A3 heterozygous mutation.
一名36岁女性在抗SS - A抗体检测呈阳性后出现低钾性代谢性碱中毒。利尿负荷试验结果符合吉特曼综合征(GS)。该患者SLC12A3存在杂合突变,SLC12A3编码噻嗪类敏感的氯化钠协同转运蛋白(NCCT)。虽然该突变可能导致NCCT潜在功能减退,但潜在的抗SS - A抗体相关自身免疫诱发了其功能减退的表现。据我们所知,这是首例证明抗SS - A抗体相关自身免疫可能在SLC12A3杂合突变患者中诱发GS的报告。
