Gordon's syndrome--a combination of hyperkalemia and arterial hypertension with preserved kidney function

A case of Gordon's syndrome in a 38 years old man is presented--hyperpotassemia and arterial hypertension with preserved renal function, normal supra-adrenal function, no data for hemolysis, normal coagulation state, mild compensated metabolic acidosis. Renal tubular defect, for excretion of potassium and chlorides, sodium reabsorption, tubular resistance to mineralocorticoids are discussed. The combination of hyperpotassemia and arterial hypertension might be due to phenotype manifestations of a single gene.
