In two infants with distal renal tubular acidosis phosphate depletion was observed in the extracellular and intracellular compartments of the erythrocytes. Treatment corrected this disturbance over a period of several months. Cell phosphate deficiency may contribute to the adverse effects of renal tubular acidosis on bone.
