Rare coexistence of aldosterone resistance and adrenal insufficiency in asymptomatic infant with persistent hyperkalaemia: A case report

BACKGROUND Hyperkalaemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte disturbance, most commonly encountered in neonates and infants with renal or endocrine abnormalities. Persistent hyperkalaemia in an otherwise clinically well child is unusual and warrants careful investigation.
