Bartter syndrome is also an autosomal recessive hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, but it derives from a mutation to the NKCC2 found in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

K + is passively transported along its concentration gradient through a K + leak channel in the apical aspect of the cells, back into the lumen of the ascending limb.
