title: A case of incomplete renal tubular acidosis (type 1) associated with medullary sponge kidney followed by nephrocalcinosis.
abstract: A case is reported of incomplete renal tubular acidosis (type 1) associated with medullary sponge kidney followed by nephrocalcinosis. Although several cases of classic renal tubular acidosis associated with medullary sponge kidney have been documented a case of incomplete renal tubular acidosis associated with medullary sponge kidney seems to be rare. We recommend examination for incomplete renal tubular acidosis in patients with medullary sponge kidney and nephrocalcinosis without systemic acidosis.
