Liddle syndrome

Last revised by Portia D'Anverrs on 26 Nov 2021

Liddle's syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition which inhibits the normal degradation of the ENaC sodium channel, resulting in findings that mimic Conn's syndrome (hyperaldosteronism); hypernatremia, hypokalemia and elevated serum bicarbonate. Typically patients are asymptomatic other than hypertension, which is hopefully identified in childhood.
