Indian J Nephrol. 2017 Sep-Oct;27(5):399-401. doi: 10.4103/ijn.IJN_203_16.

Abstract

Bartter's syndrome is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis, and hyperreninemia with normal blood pressure. Bartter's syndrome is associated with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of hereditary disorders that affect dental enamel. AI could be part of several syndromes. The enamel renal syndrome is the association of AI and nephrocalcinosis. We report two patients of AI with Bartter's syndrome.

Keywords: Amelogenesis imperfecta; Bartter's syndrome; nephrocalcinosis; yellow teeth.
