A case of hereditary nephritis with mild reduction of renal function
associated with renal tubular acidosis type IV is described. The patient
was admitted with life-threatening hyperkalaemia. To our knowledge, type IV
renal tubular acidosis has not been reported previously in association with
Alport's syndrome in an adult patient.
