Maternal Bartter's syndrome in pregnancy treated by amiloride.
BACKGROUND
Bartter's syndrome is a rare condition during pregnancy. The prenatal management is difficult to maintain normal potassium serum levels.


METHODS
We describe a 26-year-old woman with Bartter's syndrome. During pregnancy, she required increasing potassium and magnesium supplementations. Amiloride, a sparing potassium diuretic, was continued. She delivered an unaffected girl at term.


CONCLUSIONS
When Bartter's syndrome is associated with pregnancy, the management must be careful. Amiloride can be used to support potassium supplementation.
