Abstract
Distal renal tübüler asidozlu hastalarda nefrokalsinoz sık bir bulgu olmasına rağmen, bu hastalar genellikle normokalsemiktir. Çocukluk çağında hiperkalseminin bir nedeni olarak distal renal tübüler asidoz nadir bir durumdur. Bu yazımızda hiperkalsemi ve distal renal tübüler asidozlu dört aylık bir süt çocuğu tanımlandı ve literatür bilgileri eflliğinde patojenezi gözden geçirildi. Süt çocuklarında hiperkalseminin nedenine yönelik de¤erlendirmede distal renal tübüler asidozun da göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
Although nephrocalcinosis is a common finding in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis, the patients are usually normocalcemic. Distal renal tubular acidosis in childhood as a cause of hypercalcemia is very rare. We presented a four month-old infant with distal renal tubular acidosis and hypercalcemia, and reviewed the literature for its pathogenesis. We suggest that distal renal tubular acidosis should also be considered in the assessment of the etiology of hypercalcemia in infancy though it is very rare.
