Renal tubular acidosis.
Renal tubular acidosis is a relatively uncommon clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the kidney to adequately excrete hydrogen ions, retain adequate bicarbonate, or both. This syndrome can be categorized into 3 separate disorders, each with unique clinical characteristics.

In the past decade major advances in our understanding of renal tubular hydrogen ion secretion and bicarbonate reabsorption have provided new insight into the pathophysiology of renal tubular acidosis. Thus "fragment to fragment clings" and the number of disorders categorized within the syndrome grows, until we have come to know and name four types, with many subtypes. We hope this new perspect...

متن کاملPrevalence of distal renal tubular acidosis in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to analyse the prevalence of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) in primary SS (pSS) and to compare a novel urinary acidification test with furosemide and fludrocortisone (FF) with the gold standard ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) to detect dRTA. METHODS Urinary acidification was assessed in 57 pSS patients using NH4Cl and FF. A urinary acidification defect was defin...
