Hypokalemia due to Fanconi Syndrome in a Patient with Obstructive Jaundice.

摘要

There are limited data regarding tubular dysfunction in patients with obstructive jaundice. Here, we present a patient aged 79 years with protracted obstructive jaundice due to choledocholithiasis who developed hypokalemia with inappropriate kaliuria as a part of a non-acidotic generalized proximal tubular dysfunction, which included renal phosphate, uric acid and glucose wasting.
