Bartter syndrome is a renal tubular defect that can be diagnosed prenatally,
reports are limited on the prenatal course of pregnancies complicated with the
disease in the current literature. In this case review we would like to define
and debate on the course of pregnancy complicated with Bartter’s syndrome in
regard with current literature. Rising levels of polyhydramnios without certain
fetal or placental abnormalities should lead us to suspect renal functional
disorders like this in which the evaluation
of amniotic fluid chloride level is usually diagnostic. A series of
amniocentesis’ were performed until 34 weeks. Neonatal and subsequent
investigations confirmed the diagnosis of Bartter syndrome. The infant was
healthy at birth and now, is at 4 years of age under constant follow-up by
pediatricians.
