  • Title: Tacrolimus-Induced Type IV Renal Tubular Acidosis following Liver Transplantation.
    Author: Schmoyer C, Mishra S, Fulco F.
    Journal: Case Reports Hepatol; 2017; 2017():9312481. PubMed ID: 28761769.
    Abstract:
    Calcineurin inhibitors remain an integral component of immunosuppressive therapy regimens following solid organ transplantation. Although nephrotoxicity associated with these agents is well documented, type IV renal tubular acidosis is a rare and potentially underreported complication following liver transplantation. Hepatologists must be able to recognize this adverse effect as it can lead to fatal hyperkalemia. We describe a case of tacrolimus-induced hyperkalemic type IV renal tubular acidosis in a patient following an orthotopic liver transplant for alcoholic cirrhosis.
