SUN-512 Graves’ Disease Induced Renal Tubular Acidosis

Renal tubular acidosis in chronic liver disease.

Renal tubular acidosis of the gradient or classic type, thought to be due to a disorder of the distal tubule, has been found to occur in 32% of 117 patients with chronic liver disease. Whilst the cause of this disorder is probably multifactorial, immunological mechanisms are considered to play a major role. The presence of this disorder might well be a cause, rather than the result of, the vari...

Renal tubular acidosis and autoimmune liver disease.

Forty-two patients with autoimmune liver disease have been investigated. Renal tubular acidosis was detected in 60% of the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, in 30% with active chronic hepatitis, and in one out of seven cases with cryptogenic cirrhosis. The presence of the defect of renal acidification was not related to the level of plasma potassium, copper, or total globulin, nor to the...

Renal tubular acidosis.

Renal tubular acidosis is a relatively uncommon clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the kidney to adequately excrete hydrogen ions, retain adequate bicarbonate, or both. This syndrome can be categorized into 3 separate disorders, each with unique clinical characteristics. Although an uncommon finding, prompt and inexpensive tests can lead to early intervention and subsequently r...

Renal tubular acidosis.

In the past decade major advances in our understanding of renal tubular hydrogen ion secretion and bicarbonate reabsorption have provided new insight into the pathophysiology of renal tubular acidosis. Thus "fragment to fragment clings" and the number of disorders categorized within the syndrome grows, until we have come to know and name four types, with many subtypes. We hope this new perspect...
