Severe acidosis from acetazolamide in a diabetic patient

Abstract
An insulin-dependent diabetic patient with nephropathy developed severe acidosis after treatment with acetazolamide for glaucoma. A renal tubular abnormality may have allowed the usually self-limiting acidosis of acetazolamide to progress. It is suggested that the plasma electrolytes of patients at risk should be monitored.
