Renal Tubular Acidosis Type I
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Renal tubular acidosis type I, also called distal, is a condition in which the kidneys do not properly eliminate acid into the urine, which causes it to accumulate in the blood.
Why seek care? When muscle weakness, fatigue, growth problems in children, or recurrent kidney stones appear, it is worth investigating kidney function, since these signs can point toward this condition.
What does it involve? It is a defect in the ability of the renal tubules to regulate the body's acid-base balance, which can be hereditary or acquired.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is in charge of its evaluation, and in minors it is assessed by the pediatric nephrologist. A timely evaluation with one of these professionals helps pinpoint the origin of the problem.
