Seybolt MM, Thomas R, Zahid S. Transient renal tubular acidosis presenting with rhabdomyolysis in pregnancy: A case report. J Case Rep Images Obstet Gynecol 2021;7:100083Z08MS2021.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Several case reports exist suggesting a possible new transient renal tubular acidosis arising in pregnancy as well as a tendency toward rhabdomyolysis in these patients.
Case Report: The case presents a patient with new onset/possibly transient hypokalemia in pregnancy present with symptomatic rhabdomyolysis. The patient was treated with aggressive potassium repletion during pregnancy and weaned off all therapy postpartum.
Conclusion: A wide differential allowed for identification of a treatable disease entity with good maternal and fetal/neonatal outcome.
Keywords: Hypokalemia, Pregnancy, Rhabdomyolysis, Renal tubular acidosis
