Özet

Bartter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by hypokalemia, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, and normal blood pressure despite hyperaldosteronism and hyperreninemia. In the treatment of Bartter syndrome, the priority is to eliminate dehydration, correct electrolyte imbalance, provide general support and replacement therapies, and treat any accompanying infection. In this article, a patient diagnosed with Bartter syndrome, aged 3 years and 6 months, was presented to highlight this condition in differential diagnosis and increase awareness.
