Unraveling the Molecular Pathogenesis of Isolated Proximal Renal Tubular Acidosis
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (pRTA) results from an impairment of bicarbonate (HCO(3)(-)) reabsorption in the renal proximal tubules and is characterized by a decreased renal HCO(3)(-) threshold. Proximal RTA most commonly occurs in association with multiple defects of proximal tubular transport (renal Fanconi syndrome). Although much more rare, pRTA may occur without other functional defects in proximal...
