  • Title: [Exchangeable electrolytes, glycoregulation and growth hormone in one case of Bartter's syndrome (author's transl)].
    Author: Lefebvre J, Racadot A, Dequiedt P, Linquette M.
    Journal: Ann Endocrinol (Paris); 1977; 38(6):385-6. PubMed ID: 612271.
    Abstract:
    Total body water (T.B.W), extra-cellular fluid volume (E.C.F.), exchangeable sodium (NaE) and potassium (KE) were measured in one typical case of Bartter's syndrome with growth retardation. Intracellular potassium depletion was associated with a slight impaired carbohydrate tolerance and with decreased growth hormone response to arginine infusion and insulin-induced hypoglycemia. These observations demonstrate that impairement of growth hormone responses to stimulation occur in Bartter's syndrome with potassium depletion.
