Abstract

The authors describe a case of Bartter's syndrome, a variety of disease in the newborn, and they point out the most specific of the disease symptoms, that is the normal PA in presence of elevated plasma renin activity. So it was necessary to determine the ANP, the values of which, controlled for a period of 18 months, appeared above the normal ones. The authors conclude that this date would better explain the apparently contradictory date of the normotension.
