Pseudoaldosteronism

Pseudohypoaldosteronism, also known as Cheek-Perry syndrome, was first reported by Cheek and Perry (1958) and is a rare type of salt loss syndrome. The cause of this disease is currently thought to be due to a lack of aldosterone receptors on the target organs of the patient (tubules, salivary glands, sweat glands, and colon), or a decrease in the binding of aldosterone to its receptors or no binding at all.
