DISTAL RENAL TU
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 50
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE We report hypokalaemic quadriparesis presenting in a 45- year-old woman. Evaluation of the case revealed that hypokalaemic quadriparesis was secondary to underlying distal RTA (known as type 1 RTA), metabolic acidosis and alkaline urine. TSH was raised and anti-TPO antibodies were positive suggesting autoimmune basis for pathogenesis of functional tubular defect causing hypokalaemia. Bicarbonate therapy resulted in sustained clinical recovery.
