Renal Tubular Acidosis

  • Reference work entry
Pediatric Nephrology

Abstract

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a condition in which there is a defect in renal excretion of hydrogen ion, or reabsorption of bicarbonate, or both, which occurs in the absence of or out of proportion to an impairment in the glomerular filtration rate (1). Thus, RTA is distinguished from the renal acidosis that develops as a result of advanced chronic kidney disease (2–4).
