We report four cases of Bartter's syndrome in two consecutive generations
of an Irish family. Diagnoses were made on the basis of characteristic
clinical features, blood and urine biochemistry with additional evidence
from renal biopsy in one case. The aetiology, treatment and inheritance of
the syndrome are discussed.
