  • Title: The clinical spectrum of renal tubular acidosis.
    Author: Rocher LL, Tannen RL.
    Journal: Annu Rev Med; 1986; 37():319-31. PubMed ID: 3518609.
    Abstract:
    Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is associated with a large group of disorders that interfere with normal tubular hydrogen-ion handling by any of several mechanisms. This review presents an approach to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of RTA by defining three major subgroups: proximal RTA, distal RTA presenting with normal or decreased serum potassium (hypokalemic distal RTA), and distal RTA presenting with increased serum potassium (hyperkalemic distal RTA).
