Hypokalemic paralysis associated with cystic disease of the kidney: case report

BMC Nephrology, 2011
Background Severe hypokalemia is known to cause muscle paralysis, and renal tubular acidosis is a recognized cause. Cystic disease of the kidney is associated with severe hypokalemia.

Renal tubular acidosis in pediatrics: A review article [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundRenal tubular acidosis was first defined by the incapacity to lower urinary pH below 5.5, normal GFR associated with hyperchloremia and a normal plasma anion gap, and later the definition added tubular impairment in the bicarbonate reabsorption.

Comparing clinical laboratory beta‐hydroxybutyrate testing of vitreous humor against toxicological blood analyses in ketoacidosis deaths

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Beta‐hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is used in investigations to detect ketoacidotic states. Standard chromatographic methods of analysis of blood have traditionally been used to assess BHB levels. More recently, vitreous humor has been an alternative matrix/body fluid in clinical laboratory testing.

Distal renal tubular acidosis in recurrent renal stone formers

, 1989
Renal acidification ability was examined in 90 recurrent renal stone formers, using fasting morning urinary pH levels followed by a short ammonium chloride loading test in subjects with pH levels above 6.0.

Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis, Hypokalemic Paralysis, Nephrocalcinosis, Primary Hypothyroidism, Growth Retardation, Osteomalacia and Osteoporosis Leading to Pathological Fracture: A Case Report

Oman Medical Journal, 2011
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a constellation of syndromes arising from different derangements of tubular acid transport. Recent advances in the biology of urinary acidification have allowed us to discern various molecular mechanisms responsible for ...

A child with distal (type 1) renal tubular acidosis presenting with progressive gross motor developmental regression and acute paralysis

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background Distal (Type 1) renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by inability to secrete hydrogen irons from the distal tubule. The aetiology of dRTA is diverse and can be either inherited or acquired.

Distal renal tubular acidosis as a cause of osteomalacia in a patient with primary Sjögren's syndrome [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005
Background. One half of the patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome has extraglandular manifestations, including renal involvement. The most frequent renal lesion is tubulo-interstitial nephritis, which manifests clinically as distal tubular acidosis ...

Pendred, pendrin, pseudohypoaldosteronism type II, and renal tubular acidosis

, 2018
The sodium chloride cotransporter is regulated by the with-no-lysine kinases 1 and 4. Mutations in these genes are responsible for Mendelian hypertension, increased sodium chloride cotransporter activity, metabolic acidosis, and hyperkalemia.

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Medullary sponge kidney presenting in a neonate with distal renal tubular acidosis and failure to thrive: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009
Introduction Medullary sponge kidney is a congenital anomaly characterized by diffuse ectasy of the collecting tubules of one or both kidneys. It is usually diagnosed in the second or third decade of life.
