Renal Tubular Acidosis and Management Strategies: A Narrative Review

Biff F. Palmer et al.

Summary: Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a condition where the kidneys are unable to maintain normal acid-base balance due to defects in acid excretion or bicarbonate reabsorption. The three major forms of RTA are distal, proximal, and hyperkalemic, with a rare type 3 that combines features of both distal and proximal RTA. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for optimal patient management, with different treatment options available based on the specific type of RTA diagnosed.
