  • Title: Improvement of hypercalciuria, potassium wasting and hyperreninemia in incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis by indomethacin.
    Author: Caruana RJ, Buckalew VM.
    Journal: Nephron; 1979; 24(5):232-5. PubMed ID: 503264.
    Abstract:
    A patient with incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) demonstrated hypercalciuria, potassium wasting and hyperreninemia. Indomethacin administration resulted in sustained improvement of these abnormalities. The results suggest that overproduction of prostaglandins contributes to hypercalciuria, potassium wasting and hyperreninemia in some patients with RTA and that indomethacin may be useful in treating patients with this disorder.
