ABSTRACT
Bartter syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the association of hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronemia, short stature and nephrocalcinosis. This disorder presents with hyperplasia of juxtaglomerular apparatus on renal biopsy. We experienced a case of late-onset Bartter syndrome with nephrocalcinosis in a 9-year-old boy, whose chief pictures were muscle weakness, short stature, persistent sterile pyuria and microscopic hematuria. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.
