ABSTRACT

In the kidney, both anions, phosphate and sulfate, are almost freely filtered and afterwards reclaimed (reabsorbed) to a large extent from tubular fluid along the proximal tubules. Under normal dietary conditions, fractional excretion of these anions is approximately 10%. Reabsorption of both anions occurs along the proximal tubules by active, saturable, and regulated transepithelial processes. Most of the transporters involved in renal handling of phosphate and sulfate have been identified and their transport functions as well as their cellular localizations have been described in detail. The role of these transporters in the renal handling of phosphate and sulfate has been investigated by the use of several mice knock out models and also by analysis of several inherited human diseases. Numerous hormonal and nonhormonal factors, have been described that alter renal excretion of phosphate or sulfate by mechanisms that alter the abundance of known phosphate/sulfate transporters and consequently renal excretion. These mechanisms contribute to the homeostasis of the extracellular concentrations of phosphate and sulfate.

ABSTRACT

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by the inability to excrete acid in the renal collecting ducts resulting in inappropriately alkaline urine and hyperchloremic (normal anion gap) metabolic acidosis in the context of a normal (or near-normal) glomerular filtration rate. Inborn dRTA can be due to autosomal dominant or recessive gene defects. Clinical symptoms vary from mild acidosis, incidental detection of kidney stones or renal tract calcification to severe findings such as failure to thrive, severe metabolic acidosis, and nephrocalcinosis. The majority of patients with recessive dRTA present with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Few cases with abnormal widening of the vestibular aqueduct have been described with dRTA. Mutations in three different genes have been identified, namely SLC4A1, ATP6V1B1, and ATP6V0A4. Patients with mutations in the ATP6V1B1 proton pump subunit develop dRTA and in most of the cases sensorineural hearing loss early in childhood. We present two patients from two different and non-consanguineous families with dRTA and SNHL. Direct sequencing of the ATP6V1B1 gene revealed that one patient harbors two homozygous mutations and the other one is a compound heterozygous. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature describing homozygosity in the same dRTA gene on both alleles.

ABSTRACT

A 42-year old woman was referred for a metabolic evaluation after two episodes of kidney stones. Her laboratory results revealed a normal anion-gap metabolic acidosis, a marked hypocitraturia (0,6 mmol/24h; norm 1,6-4,5) and a urinary pH of 7,0 confirming renal tubular acidosis (RTA). We identified topiramate, our patient's medication for migraine, as the cause of the RTA. Topiramate, a carboanhydrase inhibitor leads to RTA of a mixed (proximal and distal) type and thus significantly increases the risk for kidney stones.
