Liddle syndrome, also known as pseudohyperaldosteronism, is one of the rare causes of resistant hypertension that presents in early childhood. The syndrome is a rare cause of secondary hypertension due to a genetic mutation affecting the function of the collecting tubule sodium channel. This hereditary condition follows a dominant pattern of inheritance; typical symptoms include hypertension, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. Pathophysiologically, the levels of the hormones aldosterone and renin are low. Managing clinicians may see features overlapping with renal and related endocrinological diseases, such as renal tubular acidosis, diabetes mellitus, and Cushing syndrome.Furthermore, the course addresses the challenges clinicians may encounter due to overlapping features with other renal and endocrinological conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis, diabetes mellitus, and Cushing syndrome. This activity reviews this syndrome’s causes, symptoms, evaluation, and treatment and discusses the interprofessional team’s role in diagnosing and managing the condition.
