Proximal renal tubular acidosis associated with glycogen storage disease, type 9

Acta Paediatr Scand. 1988 May;77(3):460-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1651-2227.1988.tb10681.x.

Abstract

A 2 1/2-year-old Japanese boy with glycogen storage disease, type 9, developed proximal renal tubular acidosis (RTA). The RTA significantly improved in response to cornstarch therapy, implying a direct causal relationship between subtle metabolic derangements in glycogen storage disease, type 9, and proximal RTA.
