Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) refers to a collection of renal transport defects in the reabsorption of bicarbonate or the secretion of hydrogen ion, or both, resulting in a hyperchloremic, non-anion gap metabolic acidosis. RTA may be an isolated disorder or one feature of a more complex disorder, disease, or syndrome. Because RTA can present with nonspecific symptoms such as failure to thrive, constipation, vomiting, and lethargy, recognizing, diagnosing, and managing these disorders is essential for inpatient management.
