Abstract


Bartter’s syndrome is a group of renal tubular disease characterized by impaired salt reabsorption in thick ascending limb of henle’s loop and clinically by the association of hypokalemia,metabolic alkalosis,hypercalciuria/nephrocalcinosis,low/normal blood pressure,vascular resistance to angiotensin II.Most of the cases have been noted in pediatric age group and adult onset cases are rare.Here we report a case of 19 year old female patient with adolescent onset of bartter’s syndrome who presented with persistent hypokalemia,metabolic alkalosis,normotension,nephrocalcinosis.
