Summary

Neonatal Bartter syndrome can present atypically with metabolic acidosis instead of the usual hypochloremic alkalosis. Early recognition of this rare condition is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Neonatal Bartter syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting ion transport in the kidneys.
  • It typically presents with hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, polyhydramnios, and premature birth.

Observation:

  • A preterm infant with polyhydramnios presented with failure to thrive, gastroenteritis, and facial dysmorphisms.
  • Unusually, the infant initially exhibited metabolic acidosis rather than the classic hypochloremic alkalosis.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an atypical early biochemical presentation of neonatal Bartter syndrome.
  • Metabolic acidosis was the initial manifestation at 5 weeks of age, preceding typical findings.

Implications:

  • Awareness of atypical presentations is vital for prompt diagnosis of neonatal Bartter syndrome.
