Renal tubular acidosis is a rare disease that can present in a primary, resulting from genetic defects in transport mechanisms of the renal tubules, or secondary, consequent to systemic diseases or drugs. The authors report a case of a patient with renal tubular acidosis type II who developed bilateral femoral fracture secondary to severe osteomalacia, with the intention of highlighting the importance of understanding this disease since the late diagnosis and treatment may generate serious repercussions for the patient.
肾小管酸中毒是一种罕见疾病，可原发性出现，由肾小管转运机制的基因缺陷导致，也可继发性出现，继发于全身性疾病或药物。作者报告了一例II型肾小管酸中毒患者，该患者因严重骨软化继发双侧股骨骨折，旨在强调了解这种疾病的重要性，因为诊断和治疗延迟可能会给患者带来严重影响。
