Pseudohypoaldosteronism
| Pseudohypoaldosteronism | |
|---|---|
In pseudohypoaldosteronism, aldosterone is elevated (hyperaldosteronism), but because the body fails to respond to it, it appears similar to hypoaldosteronism.

Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a condition that mimics hypoaldosteronism.[1] However, the condition is due to a failure of response to aldosterone, and levels of aldosterone are actually elevated, due to a lack of feedback inhibition.
This syndrome was first described by Cheek and Perry in 1958.[2] Later pediatric endocrinologist Aaron Hanukoglu reported that there are two independent forms of PHA with different inheritance patterns: Renal form with autosomal dominant inheritance exhibiting salt loss mainly from the kidneys, and multi-system form with autosomal recessive form exhibiting salt loss from kidney, lung, and sweat and salivary glands.[3] [4]
Treatment of severe forms of PHA requires relatively large amounts of sodium chloride.[5] These conditions also involve hyperkalemia.[6]
Types include:
| Type | OMIM | Gene | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHA1AD | 177735 | MLR | with sodium wasting |
| PHA1AR | 264350 | SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1G of the epithelial sodium channel | with sodium wasting |
| PHA2 | 145260 | WNK4, WNK1 | without sodium wasting. TRPV6 may be involved.[7] |
