[Treatment of congenital chloride diarrhea with prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor (author's transl)].

In a patient with congenital chloride diarrhea, the hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronism, hypokaliemia and hypokaliuria diminished during treatment with prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor. These findings suggest that probably prostaglandins stimulate renin-aldosterone system in congenital chloride diarrhea.
