Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Primary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an impaired urinary acidification process in distal nephrons that results in the production of alkaline urine. Loss of function variants in any of the three genes, ATP6V0A4, ATP6V1B1, or SLC4A1, which all play a role in normal acidification of urine by kidneys, may lead to dRTA. Objective: This study was...
