Renal tubular acidosis, associated with hypothyroidism, is rare. We present the case of a woman with known renal tubular acidosis and treated hypothyroidism who underwent emergency cesarean delivery under uneventful combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. The rationale for choosing the anesthetic technique and the potential risks associated with anesthesia and renal tubular acidosis are discussed.
