Abstract
Cystic f ibrosis was diagnosed in a 3.5-month-old infant presenting with chronic salt depletion, hypoelectrolytemia, metabolic alkalosis and failure to thrive without malabsorption. After replacement of the salt deficit, the metabolic abnormalites resolved and weight gain was rapid. The recognition of this syndrome in patients with cystic fibrosis bears great importance because it can manifest itself as the primary reason for hospital admission and can be life-threatening unless treated.
Özet
Kronik tuz kaybıyla karakterize hipoelektrolitemi ve metabolik alkalozu olan, yeterli kilo alamayan 3.5 aylık bir hastaya kistik fibroz tanısı kondu. Belirgin malabsorbsiyonu olmayan hastada tuz kaybı giderildikten sonra metabolik bozukluklar düzeldi ve süratle kilo aldı. Bu bulguların kistik fibrozisli hastalarda bazen hastaneye ilk başvuru nedeni olması ve tedavi edilmezse yaşamı tehdit etmesi nedeniyle psödo-Bartter sendromunun bilinmesinin önemi vurgulanmıştır.
