| Abstract |
At the time of diagnosis, Multiple Myeloma is commonly associated with renal impairment. Renal tubular acidosis without overt renal insufficiency is an uncommon disease presentation of myeloma. Among tubular acidosis types, isolated renal tubular acidosis is a very unusual presentation of multiple myeloma. We present a 55 years old female who presented with lower limb weakness due to persistent hypokalaemia caused by distal renal tubular acidosis. On further investigation of her anaemia with high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, we diagnosed IgG myeloma. Isolated distal renal tubular acidosis is a rare presentation of multiple myeloma. In the absence of hypercalciuria and demonstrable light chain excretion in urine, we assumed that the distal renal tubular acidosis could have been caused by monoclonal hypergammaglobulinaemic state of multiple myeloma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 March 2016.
All research outputs
#15,364,458
of 22,856,968 outputs
Outputs from BMC Hematology
#42
of 81 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#194,934
of 326,713 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Hematology
#5
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,856,968 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 81 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,713 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
