How do you differentiate between Barters syndrome and Gitelmans syndrome?

The differentiation is made by measuring the urinary excretion of magnesium (which is high in Gitelman syndrome and normal in Bartter syndrome) and calcium (which is high in Bartter syndrome and low in Gitelman syndrome). check this out http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic210.htm
