Plain-English summary
A 13-year-old female greyhound was brought to the vet after experiencing a serious condition called gastric-dilatation-volvulus, which can cause the stomach to twist and bloat. During treatment, the dog developed a temporary kidney issue known as distal renal tubular acidosis, where the kidneys struggle to maintain proper acid-base balance. This was likely due to reduced blood flow and inflammation from the initial stomach problem. With appropriate care, the dog was able to recover from both the stomach and kidney issues.

Abstract
A case of distal renal tubular acidosis occurring as a transient complication in a 13-year-old female greyhound dog with gastric-dilatation-volvulus was diagnosed. The acute renal ischemia and inflammatory condition associated with this syndrome could be considered the main underlying mechanisms responsible for the acute, severe, and complicating renal tubular dysfunction.
