Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disorder affecting primarily the salivary and lacrimal glands with potential for systemic involvement. The disease predominantly occurs in women in the age group of 35–45 years and is relatively rare in children. It mainly affects salivary and lacrimal glands with potential for systemic involvement. Children presenting with the severe metabolic bone disease at the very outset has not been reported in the paediatric literature. We report a 13-year-old girl who presented with pain in multiple large joints with predominant involvement of hip joints leading to difficulty in walking for the past 6 months and unintentional weight loss of the same duration. Investigations revealed distal renal tubular acidosis with severe metabolic bone disease as an extra-glandular manifestation of primary SS.

Rickets is a disease of bone mineralization of growth plate. Refractory rickets can be caused by distal (type 1) renal tubular acidosis (RTA). A number of conditions can result in distal RTA and Wilson’s disease is an uncommon entity. Wilson’s disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism with diverse presentations. We describe a case of refractory rickets due to distal RTA, caused by Wilson’s disease. Diagnosis of Wilson’s disease was confirmed with presence of Kayser–Fleischer (K–F) rings and high urinary copper. Further investigations revealed urinary acidification defect with hypercalciuria pointing towards distal RTA. He was treated with penicillamine & oral Zinc and significant clinical improvement was observed.Bangladesh J Medicine Jul 2018; 29(2) : 84-86

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) arises when the kidneys either fail to excrete sufficient acid, or are unable to conserve bicarbonate, both circumstances leading to metabolic acidosis of varying severity with altered serum potassium. Proximal and distal types of RTA can be differentiated according to which nephron segment is malfunctioning. The condition may be secondary (e.g. associated with drugs, autoimmune disease, or diabetes mellitus) or inherited, and there may be renal tract calcification and—in chronic cases—metabolic bone disease....
