Medullary nephrocalcinosis, distal renal tubular acidosis and polycythaemia in a patient with nephrotic syndrome

BMC Nephrology, 2012
Background Medullary nephrocalcinosis and distal renal tubular acidosis are closely associated and each can lead to the other. These clinical entities are rare in patients with nephrotic syndrome and polycythaemia is an unusual finding in such patients ...

SGLT2 Inhibitor Use for Treatment of Hypocitraturia in a Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis

Kidney Medicine
5-Amino salicylic acid (5-ASA) is a known culprit for the development of tubulointerstitial nephritis. Together with impaired kidney function, tubulointerstitial nephritis can lead to specific tubular malfunctions including distal renal tubular acidosis.

A case of severe metabolic acidosis during pregnancy

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
Key Clinical Message Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a disorder that impairs renal acid‐base regulation leading to normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. It is rare to encounter this entity during pregnancy. Pregnancy can worsen renal tubular acidosis (RTA)

Familial distal renal tubular acidosis

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021
We report the case of a family in which two sisters have distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). Familial dRTA is a rare disorder, with both autosomal dominant and recessive transmission. This is a report of familial dRTA from China.

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Triggering of erythropoietin production by hypoxia is inhibited by respiratory and metabolic acidosis

, 1990
Erythropoietin (EPO) production in response to hypoxic hypoxia is known to be attenuated by simultaneous hypercapnia. This study aimed to investigate whether this inhibitory effect of hypercapnia is 1) a direct effect of carbon dioxide or mediated by ...

A physiology-based approach to a patient with hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2018
Hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis is a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis that invariably indicates an abnormality in potassium, ammonium, and hydrogen ion secretion.
