Renal pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1829275943

Renal pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (renal PHA1) is a mild form of primary mineralocorticoid resistance restricted to the kidney. Clinical expression: in general, patients present with a salt wasting syndrome in the neonatal period, with weight loss, failure to thrive, vomiting and dehydration. Occasionally, polyhydramnios has been noted. Symptoms of renal PHA1 usually improve in early childhood and older children are generally asymptomatic with normal growth and psychomotor development.
