mousie haha mine didn't either. But they usually leave out most high yield info so, to be expected I guess. +6

yotsubato I didnt have physiology in my medical school. None, zip, zero, none. Nor did I have biochem. They said "you learned all this shit in undergrad, youll memorize it again for step 1 and forget it promptly" and then just moved on. +9

For those who are wondering why not decreased H+ secretion = H+ is just looping back and forth to make H2Co3, only HCO3- is absorbed

drzed And even if it was Wilson disease, it would have the exact same consequence leading to Fanconi syndrome. +2

abhishek021196 Fanconi syndrome Generalized reabsorption defect in PCT = Increased excretion of amino acids, glucose, HCO 3 – , and PO 4 3– , and all substances reabsorbed by the PCT May lead to metabolic acidosis (proximal RTA), hypophosphatemia, osteopenia Hereditary defects (eg, Wilson disease, tyrosinemia, glycogen storage disease), ischemia, multiple myeloma, nephrotoxins/drugs (eg, ifosfamide, cisplatin), lead poisoning. Polyuria, renal tubular acidosis type II, growth failure, electrolyte imbalances, hypophosphatemic rickets = Fanconi syndrome (multiple combined dysfunction of the proximal convoluted tubule). +1

Phosphate is down that means something is wrong with PCT, then non anion gap acidosis that means bicarbonate is not being absorbed, glucosuria again PCT so just use your brain and choose decrease bicarbonate reabsorption in PCT

lamhtu To be even clearer, this sounds like **Fanconi syndrome, which has lead to Type II RTA** +12

yb_26 To be even clearer: Wilson disease => Fanconi syndrome => type II (proximal) RTA +

charcot_bouchard To be even clearer, you all have been pretty clear +

yng I don't thin this is Wilson (copper in descemet layer of cornea). This is cystinosis (crystal in the cornea) --> Fanconi Syndrome --> Type II (PCT) RTA. +

doublethinker Yeah, I said CA too. Problem is that CA deficiency wouldn't lead to lack of reabsorption of all the ions listed. +
