Abstract excerpt
Bartter syndrome, an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder, is associated with hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with high renin and aldosterone plasma concentrations with low or normal blood pressure and renal salt loss. Two genes, the gene encoding the furosemide-sensitive apical Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) and the gene encoding the luminal inwardly-rectifying potassium channel Kir 1.1 (ROMK), have been...
