Summary

Severe renal tubular acidosis associated with massive osteomalacia is described in a patient with Crohn's disease. To our knowledge this association has not been previously recognized. The possible role of renal tubular acidosis in this patient's osteomalacia is discussed and the factors that could be involved in renal tubular acidosis in the context of Crohn's disease are analyzed.
