What is Renal Tubular Acidosis?
Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA) is a disease of the kidneys - Namely the renal tubules.

Distal renal tubular acidosis
Definition
Distal renal tubular acidosis is a disease that occurs when the kidneys don't remove acid properly into the urine, leaving the blood too acidic (called acidosis).

Definition of Distal renal tubular acidosis: ...

renal tubular acidosis A rare disorder in which structures in the kidney that filter the blood are impaired, producing urine that is more acid than normal.

Renal tubular acidosis: The kidneys fail to reabsorb bicarbonate properly, resulting in inadequate ammonia production and acid excretion. This leads to a severe lack of fluid and potassium in the body, and an excess of acidity.

Renal: decreased renal function and renal function abnormalities including: azotemia, hypokalemia, hyposthenuria, renal tubular acidosis; and nephrocalcinosis. These usually improve with interruption of therapy.

Usually, hyperkalemia is found in individuals with kidney problems, especially those with diabetes and aldosterone abnormalities (type 4 renal tubular acidosis, adrenal insufficiency).

Renal (kidney) dysfunction - your kidneys may not work well due to a condition called Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA). Your kidneys will excrete too much potassium. Medications that cause RTA include Cisplatin and Amphotericin B.

Mutations to the V-ATPase 'a4' or 'B1' isoforms result in distal renal tubular acidosis, a condition that leads to metabolic acidosis, in some cases with sensorineural deafness.

Nephritis (seldom leading to chronic renal failure) may affect up to 40% of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome and can result in renal tubular acidosis in about 25% of patients.

It may also be due to tubular damage from excretion of light chains, also called Bence Jones proteins, which can manifest as the Fanconi syndrome (type II renal tubular acidosis).

Some people develop renal tubular acidosis, which means they can't get rid of certain acids through urine. The amount of potassium in their blood drops, causing an imbalance in blood chemicals that can affect the heart, muscles, and nerves.
