Abstract
A female infant, aged 5 weeks, had metabolic alkalosis associated with severe electrolyte disturbances. In addition to findings typically seen in patients with Bartter syndrome or hyperprostaglandin E syndrome, she had massive urinary excretion of prostaglandins E2 and E-M, normal calcium metabolism, hyperphosphaturia, and severe hyperchloriduria and hyperkaliuria with limited response to indomethacin. These findings may represent a new congenital renal tubular abnormality.
