[Distal renal tubular acidosis with nerve deafness]. 1984

G F Ronconi, and P Pesenti, and A E Usai, and M Ronconi, and G Soffiati

The Authors describe a case of renal tubular acidosis (type I or distal type) with neural deafness in a male child. The condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Addition of NaHCO3 and potassium to diet allowed normal growth without sequelae. Speech development was retarded because of the neurosensorial deafness, partially corrected by hearing aids.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D009397 Nephrocalcinosis A condition characterized by calcification of the renal tissue itself. It is usually seen in distal RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS with calcium deposition in the DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULES and the surrounding interstitium. Nephrocalcinosis causes RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Nephrocalcinoses

D000141 Acidosis, Renal Tubular A group of genetic disorders of the KIDNEY TUBULES characterized by the accumulation of metabolically produced acids with elevated plasma chloride, hyperchloremic metabolic ACIDOSIS. Defective renal acidification of URINE (proximal tubules) or low renal acid excretion (distal tubules) can lead to complications such as HYPOKALEMIA, hypercalcinuria with NEPHROLITHIASIS and NEPHROCALCINOSIS, and RICKETS.

D001639 Bicarbonates Inorganic salts that contain the -HCO3 radical. They are an important factor in determining the pH of the blood and the concentration of bicarbonate ions is regulated by the kidney. Levels in the blood are an index of the alkali reserve or buffering capacity.
