title: Hypokalemic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, aldosteronism, normal blood pressure and normal juxtaglomerular apparatus--a new syndrome of renal alkalosis.
abstract: An infant with hypokalemic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, aldosteronism, normal blood pressure and normal juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) is described. This infant, along with other similar patients reported in the literature, represents a new syndrome of renal alkalosis, clinically and chemically similar to Bartter's syndrome, but without hyperplasia of the JGA.
