I'd say e Barrters syndrome.
I dont think it is Sjogren, hypoaldosteronism(would not have low K+), hyperaldosteronism(would have caused high BP), Liddles( I was like - what is that!!! then I found that it is a rare Autosomal dominant condition that resembles hyperaldosteronism and causes metabolic alkalosis).
So it has to be Barrters where you have a defect in the NaKCl channel on the ascending limb of the loop (where furosemide acts). So the condition mimics giving furosemide.
