Abstract
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a condition in which there is a defect in the reabsorption of bicarbonate, the excretion of hydrogen ions, or both, generating a clinical syndrome characterized by normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia, and impaired urinary acidification.
Keywords: Ammoniagenesis, Hyperchloremic acidosis, Metabolic acidosis, Reabsorption of bicarbonate.
