Overview
Natural History
- Bartter Syndrome usually occurs in childhood. Patient presents with the history of:
- Constipation
- Growth failure. The rate of weight gain is much lower than that of other children of similar age and gender.
- Increased urinary frequency. The patient needs to urinate more often than usual.
- Low blood pressure
- Kidney stones
- Muscle cramping and weakness[1]
Complications
Kidney failure is a possible complication.
- Bartter syndrome type I and type II are salt-wasting renal tubular disorders that are clinically characterized by polyhydramnios leading to premature delivery, marked polyuria, and a tendency towards nephrocalcinosis.[2]
- Gallstones might represent a new complication of antenatal Bartter syndrome.[3]
Prognosis
- The limited prognostic information available suggests that early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of infants and young children with classic Bartter Syndrome (type 3) may improve growth and perhaps neuro-intellectual development. On the other hand, sustained hypokalemia and hyperreninemia can cause progressive tubulointerstitial nephritis, resulting in end-stage renal disease (Kidney failure). With the early treatment of the electrolyte imbalances, the prognosis for patients with Classic Bartter Syndrome is good.
- Patients with Bartter syndrome type I and II tend to present a satisfactory prognosis after a median follow-up of more than 10 years.[3]
