We present a case of middle-aged man who presented with sudden onset of weakness of both upper and lower limbs with hypotension and polyuria without any antecedent illness. Investigations showed severe hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, mild hypomagnesemia, hypercalciuria, metabolic alkalosis and increased renin and aldosterone levels in the blood suggesting Bartter syndrome. Thus a diagnosis of acquired Bartter-like phenotype was made.

Background: Losing-salt tubulopathies, such as Bartter syndrome, are rare and usually inherited due to mutations of tubular reabsorption channels of the nephrons. Despite its scarcity, some cases of acquired losing-salt tubulopathies have been described. In this case report, we discuss the main aspects of Bartter syndrome and present a rare pediatric case of probable tacrolimusinduced Bartter-like syndrome in a renal transplanted boy.

We report a case of an acquired Bartter-like syndrome (BLS) after 3 days of treatment initiation and improved after discontinuation of colistin therapy in pediatric intensive care unit. A 2-month-old girl with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 who had respiratory distress received colistin therapy with a dose of 5 mg/kg/day for complex isolation from endotracheal aspirate on the 12 day follow-up. Polyuria (6 mL/kg/hour) in the presence of normal blood pressure and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis were developed on the 3 day of colistin treatment.
