Abstract excerpt
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) imposes a substantial health burden globally, with emerging evidence pointing to the significance of metabolic acidosis and low urinary NH4 + excretion resulting in poor CKD outcomes. The present study aims to identify in CKD patients, loss of function mutations in RhBG, one of the NH3/NH4 + transporters in the collecting duct, and to show that NH3/NH4 + transport is impaired by these...
