An Unusual Initial Presentation of Sjögren's Syndrome: Severe Hypokalemic Paralysis Secondary to Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis.
Sjögren's syndrome is mainly affects the exocrine glands. Patients usually complain of persistent dryness of the mouth and eyes. However, nonexocrine organs such as the kidneys are often affected in these patients. Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) and interstitiel nephritis are common in Sjögren's syndrome. Nonetheless, severe hypokalemia and paralysis secondary to dRTA are unusual initial ...
متن کاملPROLONGED PARALYSIS AS AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS
A case of renal tubular acidosis (RTA) who had gradual onset of paralysis of lower extremities and persisted for a long time is presented. His primary workups were mistaken for muscular dystrophy. Eventually, an abdominal ultrasonography revealed small stones in both of the kidneys and his workup for the stones were in favor of distal renal tubular acidosis and advanced rickets with hypokal...

متن کاملHypokalemic periodic paralysis and distal renal tubular acidosis associated with renal morphological changes.
We report an unusual case of 5-yrs-old girl presenting with recurrent episodic weakness with documented hypokalemia, polyuria and failure to thrive. The child was finally diagnosed as having distal renal tubular acidosis. Imaging studies revealed associated hypoechoic spaces in renal medulla. Long term treatment with alkali and maintenance of normokalemia lead to regression of these morphologic...
متن کاملHypokalemic quadriparesis and rhabdomyolysis as a rare presen-tation of distal renal tubular acidosis
Distal renal tubular acidosis is a syndrome of abnormal urine acidification and is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypercalciurea, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. Despite the presence of persistent hypokalemia, acute muscular paralysis is rarely encountered in males.Here, we will report an eighteen year old male patient who presented with flaccid quadrip...
