Bartter syndrome: An infrequent tubulopathy of prenatal onset.

Introduction: Bartter syndrome (BS) is a rare inherited tubulopathy that has two presentation forms, the first one is a severe form of antenatal onset (neonatal Bartter) and the second one is a later on set form during the first years of life (classic Bartter). In the antenatal form, it manifests with fetal polyuria, polyhydramnios of early and severe onset, premature delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. In the postnatal stage, it presents recurrent episodes of dehydration and electrolyte im balance that can compromise the survival of the patient.
