Retraction: A Rare Clinical Confluence: Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis

The article titled “A Rare Clinical Confluence: Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis”, published in the 1^st issues of the 35^th Vol. of Indian Journal of Nephrology,¹ is being retracted. In this article, in Figure 1, the clinical image has unfortunately revealed the age of the patient concerned, thus violating the requirement of confidentiality of patient information and protecting human rights policy. This was a rare oversight during our editorial process, but abiding by the ethical rules of publishing, we are retracting the article. We have contacted the author with the decision and have given the option to resubmit the article with necessary changes of properly masking the patient information for consideration of publishing the article afresh.

Best Regards
