Özet
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a clinical syndrome in which either an inherited or acquired renal tubular defect leads to failure to maintain a normal plasma bicarbonate concentration in the presence of a normal rate of acid production from the diet and metabolism. Metabolic acidosis occurs depending on a defect in renal excretion of hydrogen ion or reabsorption of bicarbonate. RTA is characterized by normal anion deficiency, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, bicarbonaturia and decreased acid excretion. However, distal RTA depends on impairment of acid excretion with primary or secondary causes. Patients with distal RTA can be asymptomatic or can present with vomiting, growth retardation, hearing loss, hemolytic anemia, renal calculi, nephrocalcinosis, rickets and osteomalasia. Adult have recurrent renal calculi and musculoskeletal system complaints such as bone, joint and muscle pain. In this paper, a 2.5 month old patient with distal RTA who presented with persistent vomiting and growth retardation was reported.
