Abstract
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a diverse group of tubular disorders characterized by failure of urinary acidification in the presence of metabolic acidosis with variable electrolyte abnormalities. RTA can present with a variety of manifestations to the nephrologist, orthopedist, pediatrician, and endocrinologist. Short stature, rickets, renal stones, and failure to thrive are the presentations that the endocrinologist can encounter. Here, we present one such case of rickets caused by distal RTA with secondary proximal tubular dysfunction.
