    This study details a patient with advanced chronic kidney disease experiencing persistent low potassium. The patient had both a kidney disorder causing salt and potassium loss and an aldosterone-producing tumor.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic renal failure (CRF) can present with complex electrolyte disturbances.
    • Primary hyperaldosteronism is a condition characterized by excessive aldosterone production, leading to hypertension and hypokalemia.

    Observation:

    • A case of advanced CRF with persistent hypokalemia was investigated.
    • The patient exhibited simultaneous salt-wasting and potassium-wasting nephropathy.

    Findings:

    • The underlying cause was identified as an aldosterone-producing adenoma.
    • Electrolyte abnormalities consistent with primary hyperaldosteronism emerged as renal function declined.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering primary hyperaldosteronism in patients with unexplained hypokalemia and deteriorating renal function.

  • Simultaneous nephropathy and an aldosterone-producing tumor can complicate the clinical picture of chronic kidney disease.
  • Early diagnosis and management of primary hyperaldosteronism are crucial for preventing severe electrolyte imbalances and kidney damage.
