Abstract

The renal tubular acidosis type 1 might be laboratory findings or a group of muscular symptoms, renal complication or delayed growth. It can also be a non-frequent case of rhabdomyolysis, producing serious cardiac and respiratory complications such as those described in this case. This tubular disease can produce alteration of calcium and ionic metabolism, and stimulation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, both reversible with the correction of the systemic pH with alcalin.
