Quadriplegia In Accidently Diagnosed Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis with Pneumonia (Case Report)
Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA1) is a rare disease. It confirms the lab’s data and rules out other differential diagnoses. Late evaluation can interfere with healthy development. We explain a 38-year-old patient with a late and accidental RTA1 diagnosis. Correct treatment with alkali consumption and potassium citrate improves her general condition and eliminates further weakness attacks. Early diagnosis is crucial for patient development and morbidity avoidance with accurate treatments.
