Renal Tubular Acidosis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Nephrology ((DINE,volume 3))

Abstract

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) represents a clinical syndrome characterized by a state of renal tubular insufficiency with regard to the reabsorption of bicarbonate, the excretion of net hydrogen ion, or both, and includes a large number of etiologies. In this condition, in contradistinction to the so-called glomerular acidosis, glomerular function is normal or is comparatively less impaired than tubular function.
