Reversible low-molecular-weight proteinuria in patients with distal renal tubular acidosis

T Igarashi et al. Pediatr Nephrol. 1990 Nov.

Abstract

Four patients with untreated renal tubular acidosis had a urinary excretion of low-molecular-weight (LMW) proteins which was restored to normal by alkali therapy. Hypokalaemic proximal tubular damage in untreated patients with distal renal tubular acidosis is believed to be the cause of LMW proteinuria. An examination of urinary excretion of LMW proteins is useful for determining hypokalaemic proximal tubular dysfunction, as well as the efficiency of alkali therapy.
