Abstract
A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with severe osteomalacia caused by renal tubular acidosis associated with Sjögren’s syndrome. She was treated with sodium bicarbonate, risedronate, alfacalcidol, and prednisolone (1 mg/kg). By 24 months, renal tubular acidosis was improved and the bone density had normalized. Here we report the successful amelioration of bone lesions through a multidisciplinary approach that improved renal tubular acidosis, with a special focus on treatment of the underlying inflammatory disorder with glucocorticoids.
