TLDR
It is recommended to consider CCD in any patient with severe resistant diarrhea to prevent its irreversible and long term organ damage.
Abstract
Objective: Congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of intestinal chloride absorption. Pathognomonic features consist of watery diarrhea, failure to thrive, dehydration and hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Case Presentation: This is the report on an 8-month old Iranian girl with severe and complicated course of CCD and poor response to current treatment. In addition, she had a renal tubular defect in uric acid handling, resulted in persistent hyperuricosuria and hypouricemia. Conclusion: Specific characteristics of CCD in our population need additional investigation. But, it is recomm¬ended to consider CCD in any patient with severe resistant diarrhea to prevent its irreversible and long term organ damage.
