Abstract
A patient with incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) showed hypercalciuria, K wasting and hyperreninemia. Indomethacin administration caused sustained improvement of the abnormalities. Apparently overproduction of prostaglandins contributes to hypercalciuria, K wasting and hyperreninemia in some patients with RTA; indomethacin may be useful in treating patients with this disorder.Keywords
