Rhabdomyolysis in pregnancy is a rare occurrence. The manifestation of distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) for the first time during adulthood is uncommon. According to a review of the literature, pregnancy may predispose individuals to rhabdomyolysis due to hypokalemia. A reduction in interstitial potassium ions could decrease muscular blood flow and lead to muscle injury. This report describes the case of a pregnant woman with rhabdomyolysis induced by hypokalemia resulting from distal RTA. The patient subsequently delivered a healthy newborn.

Zinner syndrome is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly of the male urogenital tract. It is attributed to an embryological anomaly that arises in the distal segment of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. It is the inadequate migration of the ureteric bud that contributes to the failure of differentiation of the metanephric blastema, which ultimately results in ipsilateral renal agenesis and atresia of the ejaculatory duct.

The field of the with no lysine kinases (WNKs) regulation of the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC) began at the start of the century with the discovery that mutations in two members of the family, WNK1 and WNK4, resulted in a condition known as Familiar Hyperkalemic Hypertension (FHHt). Since FHHt is the mirror image of Gitelman's syndrome that is caused by inactivating mutations of the SLC12A3 gene encoding NCC, it was expected that WNKs modulated NCC activity and that the increased function of the cotransporter is the pathophysiological mechanism of FFHt. This turned out to be the case.

An eight-year-old spayed female Abyssinian cat presented with lameness. Palpation revealed swelling, heat, and a reduced range of motion in the stifle and tarsal joints in both hind limbs. A radiographic examination of both hind limbs revealed periosteal proliferation from the distal tibia to the tarsal and metatarsal bones, which suggested hypertrophic osteopathy.

Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumors originating from the mesoderm and are more commonly found in the renal pelvis and distal ureter and less frequently in the proximal ureter or bladder. This case report presents a fibroepithelial polyp occurring in the bladder of the fetus, showcasing its two-dimensional ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler ultrasound findings, providing a reference for the accurate diagnosis of this condition.
