[Hypokalemia in the course of a Bartter syndrome].
We report on diagnostic and differential diagnostic considerations in the case of a 30 year old Italian woman with hypokalemic alkalosis, fatigue and muscular weakness. The symptoms were caused by a Bartter syndrome with distinctly increased renin but almost normal aldosterone levels in the serum and increased aldosterone values in the urine.
