    AbstractGitelman syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease that affects the thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransport channels and the magnesium channels of the distal renal tubuli. Characteristic features are hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, metabolic alkalosis and hypocalciuria. This case report presents the anesthesiological management of the Gitelman syndrome. The article demonstrates the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis and therapy of this disease from the anesthesiologists point of view.
