There are four types of renal tubular acidosis.

Lightwood-Albright syndrome is a form of renal tubular acidosis.

The loss of bicarbonate results in type 2 or proximal renal tubular acidosis.

Defects in this enzyme are associated with osteopetrosis and renal tubular acidosis.

The clinical features of proximal renal tubular acidosis are:

Potassium citrate is used to treat a kidney stone condition called renal tubular acidosis.

It is also used in an oral acid loading test to diagnose distal renal tubular acidosis.

(1,2) Children born to toluene abusers have exhibited temporary renal tubular acidosis.

A rare exception is a case of renal tubular acidosis purportedly caused by expired tetracycline.

The formation of calcium phosphate stones is associated with conditions such as hyperparathyroidism and renal tubular acidosis.

Renal tubular acidosis.

Examples of these disorders include Iminoglycinuria, renal tubular acidosis and Gitelman syndrome.

Ifosfamide may also cause a normal anion gap acidosis, specifically renal tubular acidosis type 2.

In all cases, renal tubular acidosis results from a failure of the normal renal mechanisms that regulate systemic pH.

This condition may result in hyperkalemia, when it is sometimes termed 'type 4 renal tubular acidosis' even though it doesn't actually cause acidosis.

The kidney dysfunction presents as Fanconi syndrome: Renal tubular acidosis, hypophosphatemia and aminoaciduria.

Other NBCe1 mutations disrupt kidney bicarbonate transport and cause proximal renal tubular acidosis.

Light chains produce myriad effects which can manifest as the Fanconi syndrome (type II renal tubular acidosis).

Kidney disease (distal tubular acidosis and proximal renal tubular acidosis)

The most common etiology of normal anion gap acidosis is diarrhea with a renal tubular acidosis being a distant second.

Type 1 is distal renal tubular acidosis and results from a failure of the cortical collecting duct to acidify the urine below pH 5.

Type IV renal tubular acidosis (resistance of renal tubules to aldosterone)

Distal renal tubular acidosis (Type 1 RTA)

Mutations of kidney AE1 cause distal (type1) renal tubular acidosis, which is an inability to acidify the urine, even if the blood is too acid.

Impaired concentrating ability or elevated urine pH (distal renal tubular acidosis) are also commonly found due to tubular stress and injury.
