Type IV renal tubular acidosis(RTA) is due to renal tubular bicarbonate wasting
associated with mineralocorticoid deficiency. In its five subtypes, IV-4 is due to
pseudohypoaldosteronism(PHA) evidenced by increased plasma renin and aldosterone.
PHA is believed to result from distal tubular unresponsiveness to circulating aldosterone

Although the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has not been clearly established yet,
bronchopulmonary dysplasia is one of the major complication of the mechanical ventilation. There
are several factors in the development of... |
