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]

• 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]

• Hypotension

  […] cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule → impaired Na + and Cl - reabsorption → mild natriuresis → mild volume depletion → mild RAAS activation Clinical features Fatigue, muscle weakness Muscle cramps and/or tetany Mild polyuria Possibly, mild hypotension [amboss.com]

  Presentation of cardiac toxicities of organophosphates may be of three types. [2] It may be intense sympathetic activity due to nicotinic effect producing tachycardia and hypertension or muscarinic activity producing bradycardia and hypotension. [ijccm.org]

  Check vital signs, as hypotension may occur due to myocardial suppression in severe acidaemia. Tachypnoea is likely to be present. [patient.info]

• Withdrawn

  The clinical diagnosis of DRTA in this patient is supported by the presence of hypercloremic metabolic acidosis during a long-term follow-up when alkali treatment was transiently withdrawn and by the presence of SNHL and nephrocalcinosis. [nature.com]

• Irritability

  At 2 months of age, the infant had persistent failure to thrive and a 1-day history of irritability and vomiting and was readmitted for diagnostic evaluation. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

  These include sicca symptoms (dryness and irritation of eyes, dysphagia, dental caries, hoarseness of voice), musculoskeletal symptoms (fatigue, arthralgia), nephrocalcinosis and chronic kidney disease and a greater propensity to develop lymphoid malignancies [mjdrdypu.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]

  There was no glycosuria or proteinuria. The urinary potassium level was 24 meq/l, which indicates renal potassium wasting (exceeding 20 meq/l). [indianjnephrol.org]

• Hyperchloremia
