Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Genetic analysis
- Genetic analysis is required to make an accurate diagnosis.[1]
Biopsy
In Bartter syndrome, a biopsy of the kidney typically shows too much growth of kidney cells called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. However, this is not found in all patients, especially in young children.[2]
