Abstract:
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare inherited disorder of resistance to aldosterone and presents with hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis. Cohen syndrome (CS) is another rare inherited disease. Concurrent presentation with pseudohypoaldosteronism makes it so extraordinary and implies more challenges for clinicians. We report a case of a female with Cohen syndrome (novel mutation) and systemic pseudohypoaldosteronism, as well as the challenges we have encountered in the management of this patient.

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
