Entire Body System
- Fatigue
Fatigue and muscle cramps are the main features; they are associated with nausea and intermittent vomiting. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Other symptoms Other symptoms, which appear during late childhood, include fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, and recurrent carpopedal spasms. Developmental delay and minimal brain dysfunction with nonspecific electroencephalographic changes are also [slideshare.net]
- Weakness
Bartter Syndrome : Characterized by failure to thrive, growth deficiency, dwarfism, muscle weakness and cramps, and hypokalemia as a result of a renal potassium wasting syndrome. Mental retardation has been observed in some patients. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Other symptoms Other symptoms, which appear during late childhood, include fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, and recurrent carpopedal spasms. Developmental delay and minimal brain dysfunction with nonspecific electroencephalographic changes are also [slideshare.net]
- Short Stature
Short stature/growth retardation Nearly all patients with Bartter syndrome have growth retardation. In a review of 66 patients, 62 had growth retardation, often severe (below the fifth percentile for age). [slideshare.net]
Gastrointestinal
- Failure to Thrive
Bartter Syndrome : Characterized by failure to thrive, growth deficiency, dwarfism, muscle weakness and cramps, and hypokalemia as a result of a renal potassium wasting syndrome. Mental retardation has been observed in some patients. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Symptoms include the following: Polyuria Polydipsia Vomiting Constipation Salt craving Tendency for volume depletion Failure to thrive Linear growth retardation 31. [slideshare.net]

Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
The exact cause is not known, but inheritance as an autosomal recessive trait has been suggested. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
The uses of sterile clones have been suggested as a solution to invasiveness and interbreeding. However, as this new technology develops, the limitations accountable for the delay in its successful application will be overcome. [yumpu.com]
In hypokalemia, normal kidneys retain potassium.[18] Elevated urinary potassium levels with low blood potassium levels suggest that the kidneys are having problems retaining potassium. [slideshare.net]
Workup
Workup Approach Considerations The severity and site of the mutation determines the age at which symptoms first develop. [slideshare.net]
Treatment
Gas phase chemical reduction of hexachlorocyclohexane and other chlorinated compounds: waste treatment experience and applications. 6th International HCH and Pesticides Forum, 20–22 March; 2001. Poznan, Pol and. [yumpu.com]
Prognosis
With early treatment of the electrolyte imbalances the prognosis is good. Bone age is appropriate for chronological age, and pubertal and intellectual development are normal with treatment. [slideshare.net]
Etiology
Etiology Defects in either the sodium chloride/potassium chloride cotransporter or the potassium channel affect the transport of sodium, potassium, and chloride in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TALH). [slideshare.net]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology International occurrence Bartter syndrome is rare, and estimates of its occurrence vary from country to country. [slideshare.net]
Pathophysiology
Other pathophysiologic abnormalities result from excessive salt and water loss. The renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS) is a feedback system activated with volume depletion. [slideshare.net]
Prevention
Angiotensin II (ANG II) is directly vasoconstrictive, increasing systemic and renal arteriolar constriction, which helps to prevent systemic hypotension. [slideshare.net]
