  • Abstract
    enal tubular acidosis is a disorder of renal acidification characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and a normal anion gap. Type 1 RTA is a disorder of the distal nephron resulting in failure to lower urinary pH, due either to excessive back-diffusion of hydrogen ions from the lumen to the blood or to inade­quate transport of hydrogen ions. It can be fa­milial or due to secondary causes like Sjogren s syndrome, chronic active hepatitis and syste­mic lupus erythematosus.
