Abstract. Bartter Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting the renal tubular system causing a decreased absorption of sodium and chloride in the thick ascending limb of the Henle loop. Most children present in infancy with complaints of polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting, constipation and failure to thrive while older children present with recurrent episodes of dehydration, muscle weakness and cramps. The present study aimed to demonstrate a case of Bartter syndrome presenting as acute gastroenteritis.

The neonatal form of Bartter syndrome is characterized by intrauterine onset of polyuria leading to severe polyhydramnios. We report a case of a 31 weeks, male baby was born by emergency Caesarean Section due to severe polyhydramnios (AFI 54). Postnatally, baby had polyuria, dehydration, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Possibility of neonatal Bartter syndrome was supported by high serum renin and aldosterone levels. Correction of electrolytes and dehydration along with indomethacin constituted the treatment. This syndrome is reported to make paediatricians aware about the severe neonatal form of the disease.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2016;36(2):204-207.

Abstract Background Bartter syndrome is a group of rare autosomal-recessive renal disorders characterized by hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis associated with severe growth failure; the exact causes for growth retardation are unclear. GH deficiency (GHD) has been reported in a few cases of Bartter syndrome. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of GHD in children with antenatal Bartter syndrome and to assess their response to GH therapy. Methods Ten patients aged 1.5–14.5 years and diagnosed with antenatal Bartter syndrome were enrolled. Seven children with short stature underwent GH stimulation tests. Results Common presenting symptoms were failure to thrive and polyuria. The mean patient height at study entry was −2.7 standard deviation (SD) (range 0.89 to −5.95) and mean weight (SD) was −1.7 (range 1.89 to −4.11). A decline in height and weight (SD) was observed over the years. GHD was diagnosed in four children and GH therapy was started in all of them. Two patients responded very well and gained >1 SD in height, one patient stopped therapy due to non-adherence and one had a poor response. Conclusions In addition to other important causes for poor growth in antenatal Bartter syndrome, our findings suggest that GHD should also be considered as a cause of growth retardation and therefore, clinical assessment of the GH axis is recommended. GH therapy has a role in the treatment of growth failure in some individuals with Bartter syndrome.
