A variety of tests are required to be administered in a stepwise fashion for the diagnosis and characterization of RTA. Correct diagnosis involves careful evaluation, including exclusion of other entities causing acidosis. The patients were treated with potassium and bicarbonate supplementation. A fifty-one years old female patient presented to the emergency department with quadriparesis dependent on hypokalemia and vitamin D deficiency, was diagnosed with distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) combined with Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS). We submitted this case in order to draw attention to the presentation of the RTA with SS.</span></p>}, number={8}, journal={International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences}, author={Hüzmeli, Can and Candan, Ferhan and Tuncer, Ersin and Timuçin, Meryem and Kayataş, Mansur}, year={2017}, month={Jan.}, pages={3625–3628} }
