A 26-year-old female with Bartter's syndrome associated with Graves' disease is reported. This patient had a history of Graves' disease from the age of 22 and anti-thyroid drug (Methimazole) had been administered for 2 years. Thyroid function returned to normal but general fatigue and polyuria continued. Hypokalemia was diagnosed at 25 years of age and she was referred to our hospital for evaluation. Blood pressure was normal and laboratory data revealed normal thyroid function, hypokalemic alkalosis, high plasma renin activity and high plasma aldosterone concentration. She showed normal pressor sensitivity to norepinephrine infusion, grossly diminished pressor sensitivity to exogenous angiotensin II infusion compared with the normal. A renal biopsy specimen showed juxtaglomerular cell hyperplasia. Electron microscopy confirmed lacis cell (agranular cell) proliferation.
