ABSTRACT
Renal tubular acidoses (RTA) comprises of a group of disorders characterized by a low capacity for net acid excretion and persistent hyperchloremic, metabolic acidosis. The RTAs are classified into chiefly three types (types 1,2 and 4) based on clinical and laboratory characteristics. Correct diagnosis involves careful evaluation, including exclusion of other entities causing acidosis. A variety of tests are required to be administered in a stepwise fashion for the diagnosis and characterization of RTA.
