Neonatal Bartter Syndrome

Neonatal Bartter syndrome.

Bartter syndrome is an inherited renal tubular disorder with hypokalemia, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, normal blood pressure with hyper-reninemia and increased urinary loss of sodium, potassium and chloride. We report an infant with neonatal Bartter syndrome, who improved with potassium supplements.

We report a case of neonatal Bartter syndrome in a 31 weeks premature baby girl with antenatal unexplained polyhydramnios requiring amnioreduction. She presented with early onset E. coli septicaemia and severe dehydration leading to pre-renal renal impairment which obscure the typical biochemical changes of hypokalaemic hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis.

Type IV neonatal Bartter syndrome complicated with congenital chloride diarrhea

BACKGROUND Pseudo-Bartter syndrome encompasses a heterogenous group of disorders similar to Bartter syndrome. Sometimes a few status may be nested, as in our case presented here. CASE REPORT An 8-month-old boy was referred to our hospital with of intractable diarrhea, polyuria, persistent hypokalemia, abdominal distension and failure to thrive. He was born in the 34 6/7 gestational week (GW) ...

Nephrocalcinosis and Placental Findings in Neonatal Bartter Syndrome

Neonatal Bartter syndrome (NBS) is an inherited renal tubular disorder associated with hypokalemic alkalosis. Here we report a case of genetically diagnosed NBS. Polyhydramnios was noted at 26 weeks. A boy was born at 31 weeks and 1 day, weighed 1344 g, and had an Apgar score of 8/8. We initiated indomethacin (IND) at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/d on day 31, and increased it to approximately 3 mg/kg/d....
