Repeated pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA1) in pregnancy associated with fetal growth restriction: case report and review of the literature
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of reactivation of PHA 1 during pregnancy. The possibility that pregnancy can induce the recurrence of PHA underscores the importance of close monitoring and multidisciplinary management approach to improve maternal electrolyte complications and adverse fetal outcomes, such as growth restriction. Further studies are needed to better understand this rare phenomenon and improve care.
