Abstract
We report the case of a female patient with incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis
with nephrocalcinosis. She was admitted to the hospital because of acute pyelonephritis.
Imaging studies showed dual medullary nephrocalcinosis. Subsequent evaluations
revealed hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hypocitraturia with
normal acid-base status. A modified tubular acidification test with NH4Cl confirmed
a defect of urine acidification, which is compatible with incomplete distal tubular
acidosis. We treated our patient with potassium citrate, which corrects hypokalemia
and prevents further deposition of calcium salts.
