Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a disorder caused by renal tubular resistance to aldosterone and is characterized by hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, metabolic acidosis, and high plasma renin and aldosterone levels. 1 In general, PHA is classified as "primary" when it is caused by genetic mutations and "secondary" when it is associated with urinary tract malformations and/or urinary infections. Secondary PHA usually occurs in infants. 2 A few adult cases of secondary PHA caused by ileum resection have been reported in the literature, 3,4 but none of the newborns have reported ileum resectioneinduced PHA. Herein, we describe three preterm infant cases of secondary PHA following ileostomy without renal complications. The gestational age and birthweight of the patients ranged from 24 to 29 weeks and 568e706 g, respectively. Ileostomy was performed on days 6, 9, and 3 for cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. PHA occurred following possible trigger events associated with the decrease of Na supply or volume depletion on the days 21, 144, and 74 in cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The onset of PHA with initial symptom for each case was on day 22 with oliguria, day 145 with cardiac arrest, and day 96 with no symptoms, respectively. Blood testing at the onset revealed hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and high plasma renin and aldosterone concentrations in all the cases. Abdominal ultrasonography and urinalysis revealed no renal abnormalities or urinary tract infections in all the cases. Additionally, congenital adrenal hyperplasia was excluded because of the negative results of the mass screening tests. Hyponatremia/hyperkalemia was normalized immediately after the bolus infusion of normal saline with/without glucose-insulin therapy, which was replaced by the oral supplementation of sodium chloride (NaCl). In cases 1 and 3, NaCl supplementation could be completed Letter to the Editor
