Abstract
The renal sonographic findings in ten cases of Bartter's syndrome inve stigated at the King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia are described. There were various sonographic abnormalities other than those of hyperechoic pyramids as previously described. These were dif fuse increased renal echogenicity and hyperechoic echogenicity in the kidneys with the exception of the pyramids. This condition can be susp ected early if nephrocalcinosis is present in a child with a history o f polyhydramnios and premature delivery.
