    Study Notes

    Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA)

    • Primary characteristic of RTA: impaired renal acid-base regulation
    • Impaired ability to excrete H+ or reabsorb HCO3- in the kidneys

    Distal RTA

    • Characterized by inability to secrete H+ at the distal tubule
    • Consequence of distal RTA: increased excretion of ions, particularly potassium, calcium, and magnesium
    • Metabolic acidosis associated with distal RTA: non-anion gap (normal anion gap) metabolic acidosis
    • Symptoms primarily associated with distal RTA: muscle weakness, fatigue, and hypokalemia (low potassium levels)
