A case of a 29-year-old woman with a multiple autoimmune disorder is reported. She had a history of hypothyroidism since the age of 18. She was admitted to hospital due to hyperglycaemia. At admission she had hyperglycaemia, metabolic acidosis, but no urinary ketone bodies. Further laboratory studies revealed that the acidosis was due to distal renal tubular acidosis rather than diabetic ketoacidosis (although the patient had type 1 diabetes mellitus). Blood tests revealed antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD-65; associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus), thyroid and adrenal tissue, and gastric parietal cells. The patient had not developed pernicious anaemia or Addison's disease. The multiple positive antibody titres in this patient indicate that the diabetes, hypothyroidism and distal renal tubular acidosis are part of an autoimmune syndrome.

A 26-year-old male patient suffering from Type 1 diabetes mellitus got admitted with abdominal pain and high blood sugars. On further evaluation, he was found to have normal anion gap metabolic acidosis without ketonuria and urinary pH was alkaline. The patient was diagnosed as Type 1 renal tubular acidosis (RTA) (distal RTA) and was managed by alkali replacement in addition to control of blood sugars. The association of Type 1 RTA with Type 1 diabetes mellitus has been rarely reported in the literature. The association needs a different attention as diagnosis and management of diabetic ketoacidosis in such cases will be tricky. The case presented here is the first of its kind from our part of the world and second as far as English literature is concerned.
