Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis
Distal renal tubular acidosis is a disorder in which the final part of the kidney's tubules does not eliminate acid properly, which causes it to accumulate in the blood. It is one of the types of renal tubular acidosis.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable with unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, repeated kidney stones, or, in children, growth problems.
Common causes: It can be hereditary in origin or appear in association with other diseases or with the use of certain medications.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist studies kidney function and the body's balance, the pediatric nephrologist cares for children, and the internist collaborates in follow-up. If tests suggest an imbalance or these signs appear, the right course is for a professional to review your case.
