Article Synopsis
- Bartter syndrome is a genetic disorder linked to specific electrolyte imbalances, often identified in infancy, but can also be triggered by certain medications, known as acquired Bartter syndrome.
- Drugs such as polymyxins and aminoglycosides are the primary culprits, with polymyxin B and colistin being common, the latter having a higher risk of kidney damage.
- A case study of a middle-aged man illustrates that discontinuing polymyxin B resolved his Bartter syndrome symptoms, which returned when the drug was reintroduced, highlighting careful monitoring required with this medication.
