By presenting this case we aim to not only highlight one of the rare presentations of Sjogren's syndrome but also the favourable response of our patient to potassium replacement alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Childhood presentation of distal RTA includes vomiting, failure to thrive, metabolic acidosis, and hypokalemia. [indianjnephrol.org]

• Pallor

  General examination revealed mild pallor and normal vital parameters. Examination of the central nervous system revealed hypotonia with grade 3 power, proximally and distally, in all four limbs. No neck muscle weakness was present. [mjdrdypu.org]

  The hydropic female newborn had intense pallor, generalized edema, prominent ascites, and massive hepatosplenomegaly (weight, 2445 g; Apgar scores, 2, 8, and 9). [bloodjournal.org]

  In undiagnosed renal failure there may be dryness of mouth, eyes and skin, scratch marks on skin, pallor, drowsiness and fetor. [patient.info]

• Developmental Delay

  They presented with early developmental delay with subsequent severe mental, behavioral and social impairment and autistic-like features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  delay Dysmorphic facies, strabismus, and sensorineural deafness Symptoms of renal colic may occur during as a result of calcium stones. [amboss.com]

• Weight Loss

  A young female patient born to consanguineous parents was admitted to our clinic at the age of 3 years with a 5-month history of weight loss and recurrent urinary tract infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes - eg, polyuria, polydipsia or weight loss. Symptoms of renal failure such as nocturia, polyuria, oliguria, pruritus and anorexia. Recent history of urinary problems such as nephrolithiasis may indicate RTA. [patient.info]

• Failure to Thrive

  We suggest that RTA be considered a diagnostic possibility in all children with failure to thrive and nephrocalcinosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vomiting

  Since causes of nausea and vomiting among HIV/AIDS patients are very diverse, awareness of this phenomenon is useful in diagnosing and managing the problem. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Nausea

  Since causes of nausea and vomiting among HIV/AIDS patients are very diverse, awareness of this phenomenon is useful in diagnosing and managing the problem. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient denied associated fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or recent illness prior to this admission. She noted recent polyuria prior to presentation, but denied dysuria or hematuria. [shmabstracts.com]

  For some kids, the first symptom of RTA is kidney stones, which can cause symptoms like: pain in the back or side that spreads to the lower abdomen pain while urinating pee that is red, brown, or cloudy frequent urge to urinate nausea and vomiting Over [kidshealth.org]

  Confusion Nausea Fatigue Vomiting ( 10 ). If your child experiences pain during urination, needs to urinate frequently, has cloudy or red/brown urine then these could be signs of kidney stones and hence RTA. [momjunction.com]

  Nausea, vomiting and anorexia are frequently present, particularly in children. Metabolic acidosis occurring in children is very rarely due to an inborn error of metabolism (conditions such as moderately severe gastroenteritis being more common). [patient.info]

• Loss of Appetite

  In children affected by dRTA there is stunted growth, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, polydipsia and polyuria, nephrocalcinosis, weakness and muscle paralysis due to hypokalaemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In particular in children affected by dRTA there is stunted growth, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, polydipsia and polyuria, nephrocalcinosis, weakness and muscle paralysis due to hypokalaemia. [flipper.diff.org]

• Palpitations

  Ask about any chest pain, palpitations, dyspnoea or oedema indicating possible cardiovascular causes for lactic acidosis. Recent history of confusion, headache or visual changes may indicate poisoning, particularly with methanol or ethylene glycol. [patient.info]

• Carpopedal Spasm

  spasm Failure to thrive, developmental delay Dysmorphic facies, strabismus, and sensorineural deafness Symptoms of renal colic may occur during as a result of calcium stones. [amboss.com]

• Suggestibility

  Antithyroid peroxidase and antithroglobulin antibodies were positive, suggesting an autoimmune basis for the pathogenesis of the functional tubular defect. Bicarbonate therapy resulted in a sustained clinical recovery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  Keywords: Distal renal tubular acidosis, fractional excretion of bicarbonate, generalized tonic clonic seizures, ventricular tachycardia How to cite this article: Mohsin N, Dandroo JM, Rather SA, Nabi F. [journal-ina.com]

• Kidney Failure

  This alkali therapy also helps decrease the development of kidney stones and stabilizes kidney function so kidney failure does not progress. [niddk.nih.gov]

  Without treatment, RTA can affect a child's growth and cause kidney stones, fatigue, muscle weakness, and other symptoms. Over time, untreated acidosis can lead to long-term problems like bone disease, kidney disease, and kidney failure. [kidshealth.org]

• Nocturia

  Symptoms of renal failure such as nocturia, polyuria, oliguria, pruritus and anorexia. Recent history of urinary problems such as nephrolithiasis may indicate RTA. Recent history of severe or prolonged diarrhoea. Recent nutritional status. [patient.info]

• Nephrolithiasis

  This is the first demonstration of renal acidification defects and nephrolithiasis in heterozygous carriers of a mutant B1 subunit that cannot be attributable to negative dominance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Nephrolithiasis, which may occur in any of the subsets of type I renal tubular acidosis, accounts for most of the morbidity in adults and adolescents. Major risk factors for nephrolithiasis include alkaline urine, hypercalciuria and hypocitraturia. [doi.org]

• Base Deficit

  Base deficit does not predict mortality when secondary to hyperchloremic acidosis. Shock 2002;17:459-62. 12. Lee HY, Joo HY, Han DS. Serum electrolyte and acid base composition in patients with graded degrees of chronic renal failure. [journal-ina.com]

  The base excess or base deficit is usually given as a part of the blood gas result and allows a determination of the overall severity of the acidosis, particularly where respiratory compensation complicates the picture. [patient.info]

• Prolonged QT Interval

  Electrocardiogram showed rate 140/min, electrical alternans, multifocal ventricular ectopics, ventricular reentrant beats, ventricular couplets, and prolonged qT interval (corrected qT = 512 ms). Echocardiogram was normal. [ijccm.org]

  Serum level of potassium was 1.5 meq/l and electrocardiogram showed prolonged QT interval, ST depression, T wave flattening in V1-V4, and the presence of 'U' waves. Child was given potassium replacement therapy and recovered from paralysis. [indianjnephrol.org]

Treatment to correct the acidosis and hyperkalemia should be promptly initiated, and the tacrolimus dose adjusted when possible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
