Overview
Genetic analysis is required to make an accurate diagnosis. Amniotic fluid chloride concentration ranged from 114 to 123 mEq/L has been reported in four newborns Bartter syndrome patients. In Bartter syndrome, a biopsy of the kidney typically shows redundant growth of kidney cells called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. However, this is not found in all patients, especially in young children
Other Diagnostic Studies
Genetic analysis
- Genetic analysis is required to make an accurate diagnosis.[1]
Amniotic fluid chloride measurement
- A higher amniotic fluid chloride concentration is consistent with one of the neonatal forms of Bartter syndrome or congenital chloride diarrhea. Amniotic fluid chloride concentration ranged from 114 to 123 mEq/L has been reported in four newborns Bartter syndrome patients.[2][3][4]
Biopsy
- In Bartter syndrome, a biopsy of the kidney typically shows redundant growth of kidney cells called the juxtaglomerular apparatus. However, this is not found in all patients, especially in young children.[5]
