Presentation
CF could be presented as PBS, mainly in patients younger than 2 years. [elsevier.es]
Although there is significant variability in the presentation of some subtypes of Bartter syndrome, there is still a strong genotype-phenotype correlation in some mutations, like the one we present here. [scielo.mec.pt]
Out of 11 cases, 6 (54.54%) patients in PBS group presented with features consistent with PBS leading to CF diagnosis labeled as “early presenters”. [cysticfibrosisjournal.com]
Among BS cases, antenatal/neonatal BS (ABS) usually shows distinct polyhydramnios prenatally and presents features of BS in the early neonatal period. [casereports.bmj.com]
In some individuals, hypercalciuria is also present. Mutations in several genes have been associated with the disorder. [journalrip.com]
Entire Body System
- Disability
In addition, patients can experience muscle weakness and cramping as well as hearing loss and intellectual disability. With treatment available, life expectancy is not reduced. No genotype-phenotype correlation has been reported. [sema4.com]
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, has been defined as an IQ score below 70. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recurrent vomiting, muscle cramps, spasms and failure to thrive are observed. Progression to renal failure is frequent. Hypokalemic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, hyperprostaglandin E-uria and hypochloremia are noted (hypercalciuria is only transient). [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

- Kidney Failure
We may also use ultrasound imaging to look for calcium deposits in your child's kidneys. It is very unusual for Bartter syndrome to cause severe kidney failure, but in those rare cases, we treat the kidney failure as needed. [childrenscolorado.org]
Kidney function is also normal if the disease is treated,[4] but occasionally patients proceed to end-stage kidney failure. [en.wikipedia.org]

Medicine may be needed that blocks the kidney's ability to get rid of potassium. High doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be used. Infants who have severe growth failure may grow normally with treatment. [medlineplus.gov]
Workup
Affected individuals may be encouraged to undergo a cardiac workup to screen for risk factors for cardiac arrhythmias. Individuals with a prolonged QT interval should avoid drugs that prolong the QT interval. [rarediseases.org]
The study was exempt from institutional review board approval because, at the time of prenatal diagnosis, amniotic fluid sampling was part of the routine diagnostic workup. RESULTS Bartter groups are presented in Table 1. [nature.com]
Workup Approach Considerations The severity and site of the mutation determines the age at which symptoms first develop. [de.slideshare.net]

Treatment

The initial treatment of the patient with oral potassium was not satisfactory. Treatment with acetylsalicylic acid was associated with some effect, and an allergic reaction led withdrawal of treatment. [peertechzpublications.com]
Management and treatment Especially in the perinatal period, treatment includes vigorous salt and fluid replacement therapy. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. indomethacin or celecoxib) are the second mainstay of therapy. [orpha.net]

Prognosis If recognised early and treated aggressively, children with Bartter syndrome can achieve near-normal growth and intellectual development. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Parents were counseled regarding the prognosis, and the need for parental and prenatal testing. The baby was discharged on day 33 at a weight of 1.42 kg. At 3 ½ mo-of-life, the child was weighing 2.5 kg. BERA confirmed profound hearing loss. [link.springer.com]
Prognosis The perinatal course is critical because of the complications of severe prematurity. Life expectancy may be reduced in severe cases and chronic renal failure may develop in a subset of children. [orpha.net]
With early treatment of the electrolyte imbalances, the prognosis for patients with classic Bartter Syndrome is good.[citation needed] History[edit] The condition is named after Dr. Frederic Bartter, who, along with Dr. [en.wikipedia.org]

These can slightly decrease your child's kidney function, but they will also prevent them from losing so many minerals in their urine. We monitor this therapy with laboratory testing to ensure it is safe and effective. [childrenscolorado.org]
It is therefore important to remain on the correct amount of treatment to balance the body’s salt levels and prevent complications. [kidneycareuk.org]
Bartter syndrome treatment prevents the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal glands and, thereby reduces potassium loss. [factmr.com]
