Abstract :
A 15-year-old girl, a known case of Bartter’s syndrome (BS) for 7 years, developed severe pain in her right knee and right and left ankle. Her older sister had BS and developed endstage renal disease (ESRD) at the age of 14 years. Her serum uric acid was 12.6 mg/dL, 6 months ago, and 15.4 mg/dL in her recent lab data. Hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis are commonly seen in adults with BS, but to our knowledge there is no report of gouty arthritis in pediatric literature.
