The term renal tubular acidosis rta refers to a group of clinical entities in which normal anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis occurs as a result of defective transport of the proximal tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate. Clinical approach to renal tubular acidosis in adult patients. Introduction lungs and kidneys are responsible for normal acid base balance alveolar ventilation removes co2 kidneys reabsorb filtered bicarbonate and excrete a daily quantity of hydrogen ion equal to that produced by the metabolism of dietary proteins.

Renal disorders in the newborn ucsf benioff childrens. The term renal tubular acidosis rta refers to a group of clinical entities in which normal anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis occurs as a result of defective transport of the proximal tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate proximal rta or type 2, the distal secretion of hydrogen ions distal rta or type 1, or hyperkalemic rta or type 4. Pdf renal tubular acidosis in renal transplant patients. The classic form is often associated with hypokalemia whereas other forms of acquired drta may be associated with hypokalemia, hyperkalemia or normokalemia.
