Pseudohypoaldosteronism is a rare disease and develops as a result of resistance to aldosterone in target organs that causes excessive salt lost, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis and hyperreninemia. An 8-day-old boy was transferred to our hospital because of dehydration, hyperkalemia and hyponatremia and was diagnosed pseudohypoaldosteronism. We aimed to discuss our case and the treatment of pseudohypoaldosteronism.
