Pseudobartter's syndrome
From WikiLectures
Pseudo-bartter's syndrome is a set of clinical symptoms that mimic Bartter's syndrome, but they have a completely different etiology.
In most patients, it is caused by the abuse of laxatives (gastrointestinal ion loss is distinguished from renal loss by calliuresis examination - as it will be low here) or by the abuse of diuretics (we can detect the presence of diuretics in the urine by toxicological analysis[1]) and by repeated vomiting (on urine testing, chloride levels will be <10 mmol / day[2]).
The syndrome occurs mainly in young women with anorexia nervosa[3].
