title: Combined renal tubular acidosis and diabetes insipidus in hematological disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  A 39-year-old male with multiple myeloma was admitted for treatment with melphalan and autologous stem cell reinfusion. He presented with hypokalemia and hyperchloremic non-anion-gap metabolic acidosis with a high urinary pH. He also had hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, hypouricemia, proteinuria and glucosuria. The patient subsequently developed polyuria with a low urine osmolality, hypernatremia and, finally, acute renal failure.
  
  
  METHODS
  Physical examination, blood and urine analyses, kidney biopsy and tonicity balance.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fanconi syndrome with proximal (type II) renal tubular acidosis caused by myeloma kidney. Renal tubular acidosis was complicated by probable nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and acute renal failure.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Potassium supplementation, sodium bicarbonate therapy, intravenous fluid therapy and dialysis.
