Abstract:
Bartter's Syndrome is characterized by renal potassium wasting with hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, increased renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, normal blood pressure, resistance to the pressor effects of angiotensin II and juxtaglomerular cell hyperplasia. Most of the cases have been noted in the pediatric age group and adult-onset cases are very rare. We report a case of adult-onset Bartter's syndrome.
