Abstract
In the evaluation of patients presenting with chronic hyperkalemia hyponatremia and normal anion gap acidosis, pseudohypoaldosteronism types I and II are within the spectrum of differential diagnosis. Recognition of these patients is important to prevent inappropriate mineralocorticoid therapy. Using clinical scenarios we aim to illustrate clinical mimics and dissimilarities to differentiate theses disorders.
