A medical disorder known as renal tubular acidosis is characterized by the
buildup of acid in
the body as a result of the kidneys' inability to properly acidify the urine. Metabolic acidosis
can also occur in people with chronic kidney disease, and the term renal transplant recipients
(RTA) is typically used to describe people whose kidneys are still functioning normally but
have inadequate urine acidification. There are various forms of renal tubular acidosis, and
each one has a specific cause. The tubule segment that is injured determines its name.
One of the most prevalent forms of renal tubular acidosis is distal renal tubular acidosis. It
can be inherited (distributed within families) or brought on by sickle cell disease, high blood
calcium, autoimmune conditions such as lupus and Sjogren syndrome, or medication use.
Proximal renal tubular acidosis is primarily associated with newborns and is brought on by a
condition known as Fancoi's syndrome. RTA typically has no symptoms. Severe electrolyte
imbalances are rarely seen, but they can be fatal.
Distal renal tubular acidosis symptoms could include any
of the following:
The target of treatment is to get the body's acid and electrolyte
balance back to normal. This
will assist in treating bone diseases and lessen kidney stones and Nephrocalcinosis, or the
accumulation of calcium in the kidneys.
For the treatment of renal tubular acidosis, get in contact with nephrologist and kidney
specialist Dr. Vijay Patel if you have any emergency symptoms,
such as seizures, decreased
consciousness, or a sharp decline in alertness or orientation. He is
one of Mumbai's best
kidney specialists as well as one of the best nephrologists in South Mumbai.
