Abstract
Beta thalassemia trait is a variant of beta thalassemia, which is a heterozygous state with features of mild anaemia, hypochromic microcytic red cells and elevated HbA2.Distal renal tubular acidosis (type I RTA) is an important cause of rachitic deformities, failure to thrive and hypokalemia.It ischaracterised by persistent severe metabolic acidosis. The proximal tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate is normal. Persistant acidosis and hypercalciuria leads to nephrocalcinosis.
