STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the perioperative considerations for low-risk and high-risk surgery in patients with Gitelman syndrome.
DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.
SETTING: University-affiliated medical center.
PATIENTS: 42 patients with Gitelman syndrome.

The anesthesia record and all associated laboratory tests and clinical notes associated with those procedures were recorded.
MAIN RESULTS: No acute electrolyte abnormalities or postoperative complications occurred with these procedures in patients with Gitelman syndrome.
CONCLUSION: Gitelman syndrome is a mild disorder when appropriately managed.
