Abstract

Alkaptonuria (ALK) is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by binding of ochronotic pigment to the connective tissues in different tissues. This is the first report of a child presented with primary distal renal tubular acidosis associated with ALK. Both disorders were managed by their specific medical treatments, with no further complication.
