Although an uncommon finding, prompt and inexpensive tests can lead to early intervention and subsequently r...
متن کاملRenal tubular acidosis.
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...
