Hypocalcemia as a Revealing Sign of Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Case Report
Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare renal pathology, yet increasingly diagnosed in clinical practice. This clinical observation highlights the importance of early recognition of dRTA signs, particularly when hypocalcemia is present as a revealing symptom. We report the case of a 4-month-old infant presenting with hypocalcemia, seizures, and asthenia, ultimately diagnosed with dRTA, in order to enhance the understanding of this condition and its course while emphasizing the importance of appropriate management.
