1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Research in the past several years has led to the understanding of numerous genetic mutations that lead to inheritable forms of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). Most of these mutations affect the physiology of the A-intercalated cells of the renal cortical collecting duct. These include mutations of genes encoding carbonic anhydrase II, kidney anion exchanger 1, and different subunits of...
