Gitelman syndrome, hypomagnesemia, and venous thrombosis: An intriguing association

Abstract

Abstract Among salt‐wasting tubulopathies' complications, venous thrombosis is one of the rarest. We report a case of a young woman with Gitelman syndrome (GS). She presented a deep venous thrombosis in her leg and was treated with heparin with favorable outcomes. We retained hypomagnesemia as the cause of the thrombosis.
