Although the mechanisms responsible for the development of hypokalemia have not been fully delineated, current evidence suggests that it results from renal potassium wasting or intracellular movement of potassium.[annals.org]
These findings suggest that hypersensitive immune-mediated injury to the tubular membrane was the pathogenic mechanism of Fanconi syndrome, and anti-tubular basement membrane antibodies have been suggested to induce ATIN in such cases [ 10 – 14 ].[bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
