There are limited data regarding tubular dysfunction in patients with obstructive jaundice. Here, we present a patient aged 79 years with protracted obstructive jaundice due to choledocholithiasis who developed hypokalemia with inappropriate kaliuria as a part of a non-acidotic generalized proximal tubular dysfunction, which included renal phosphate, uric acid and glucose wasting.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007008 Hypokalemia Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

D005198 Fanconi Syndrome A hereditary or acquired form of generalized dysfunction of the PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE without primary involvement of the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS. It is usually characterized by the tubular wasting of nutrients and salts (GLUCOSE; AMINO ACIDS; PHOSPHATES; and BICARBONATES) resulting in HYPOKALEMIA; ACIDOSIS; HYPERCALCIURIA; and PROTEINURIA.
