People suffering from<unk>  present symptoms that are identical to those of patients who are on loop diuretics like furosemide, given that the loop diuretics target the exact transport protein that is defective in the syndrome (at least for type 1<unk> . The other subtypes of the syndrome involve mutations in other transporters that result in functional loss of the target transporter. Patients often admit to a personal preference for salty foods. The clinical findings characteristic of<unk>  is hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and normal to low blood pressure. These findings may also be caused by other conditions, which may cause confusion. When diagnosing a<unk> 's syndrome, the following conditions must be ruled out as possible causes of the symptomatology: * Chronic vomiting: These patients will have low urine chloride levels; they have relatively higher urine chloride levels. * Abuse of diuretic medications (water pills): The physician must screen urine for multiple diuretics before a diagnosis is made. * Magnesium deficiency and calcium deficiency: These patients will also have low serum and urine magnesium and calcium. Patients with<unk>  may also have elevated renin and aldosterone levels. Prenatal<unk>  can be associated with polyhydramnios. Related conditions *<unk>  and Gitelman syndromes are both characterized by low levels of potassium and magnesium in the blood, normal to low blood pressure, and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. However,<unk>  is also characterized by high renin, high aldosterone, hypercalciuria, and an abnormal Na+-K+-2Cl− transporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, whereas Gitelman syndrome causes hypocalciuria and is due to an abnormal thiazide-sensitive transporter in the distal segment. Pseudo-Bartter’s syndrome is a syndrome of similar presentation as<unk>  but without any of its characteristic genetic defects. Pseudo-Bartter's syndrome has been seen in cystic fibrosis, as well as in excessive use of laxatives.
