The term renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is applied to a group of transport defects in the reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3−), the excretion of hydrogen ion (H+), or both
![Page 19: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The renal acid-base homeostasis may be broadly divided into two processes: (1) reabsorption of filtered HCO3−, which occurs
fundamentally in the proximal convoluted tubule; and
(2) excretion of fixed acids through the titration of urinary buffers and the excretion of ammonium, which takes place primarily in the distal nephron.

Distal Urinary Acidification Urinary acidification takes place in the distal nephron by three related processes: (1) reclamation of the small fraction of filtered HCO3−
that escapes reabsorption proximally (10 to 20%); (2) titration of divalent basic phosphate (HPO4=), which
is converted to the monovalent acid form (H2PO4−) or titrable acid; and
(3) accumulation of ammonia (NH3) intraluminally, which buffers H+ to form nondiffusible ammonium (NH4+).
![Page 26: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DISTAL URINARY ACIDIFICATION
The thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop reabsorbs about 15% of the filtered HCO3- load by a mechanism similar to that present in the proximal tubule, i.e., through Na+-H+ apical exchange(NHE3).
![Page 27: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
H+ SECRETION The collecting tubule (CT) is the major site of H+ secretion and is made up of the medullary collecting duct (MCT) and the cortical collecting duct (CCT).
Alpha and Beta-intercalated cells make up 40% of the lining while Principal cells and collecting tubule cells make up the remainder.
![Page 28: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Alpha-Intercalated Cells are thought to be the main cells involved with H+ secretion in the CT.
This is accomplished by an apically placed H+-K+-ATPase and H+-ATPase with a basolateral Cl-/HCO3
- exchanger and the usual basolateral Na+ - K+ ATPase.
![Page 29: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Beta-Intercalated Cells in contrast to the above have a luminal Cl-/HCO3
- exchanger and a basolateral H+-ATPase.
They play a role in bicarbonate secretion into the lumen that is later reabsorbed by the CA IV rich luminal membrane of medullary collecting duct.
![Page 31: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ALDOSTERONE AND RENAL ACIDIFICATION
Favors H+ and K+ secretion through enhanced sodium transport. Recruits more amiloride sensitive sodium channels in the luminal membrane of the collecting tubule. Enhances H+-ATPase activity in cortical and medullary collecting tubules. Aldosterone also has an effect on NH4+ excretion by increasing NH3 synthesis
![Page 32: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TYPES OF RTA
Proximal RTA (type 2) Isolated bicarbonate defect
Fanconi syndrome
Distal RTA (type 1) Classic type
Hyperkalemic distal RTA Hyperkalemic RTA (Type 4)
![Page 33: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
PROXIMAL RTA Proximal RTA (pRTA) is a disorder leading to HCMA secondary to impaired proximal reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate. Since the proximal tubule is responsible for the reabsorption of 85-90% of filtered HCO3
- a defect at this site leads to delivery of large amounts of bicarbonate to the distal tubule.
![Page 34: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Isolated defects in PCT function are rarely found. Most patients with a pRTA will have multiple defects in PCT function with subsequent Fanconi Syndrome.
The most common causes of Fanconi syndrome in adults are multiple myeloma and use of acetazolamide. In children, cystinosis is the most common.
![Page 36: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
pRTA is a self limiting disorder and fall of serum HCO3_ below 12 meq/l is unusual, as the distal acidification mechanisms are intact.. Urine ph become remains acidic(<5.5) mostly but becomes alkaline when bicarbonate losses are corrected. F E H C O 3 i n c r e a s e s ( > 1 5 % ) w i t h administration of alkali for correction of acidosis
![Page 37: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
CAUSE OF HYOKALEMIA IN TYPE 2 RTA
Ø Metabolic acidosis in and of itself decreases pRT Na+ reabsorption leading to increased distal tubule delivery of Na+ which promotes K+ secretion. Ø The pRTA defect almost inevitably leads to salt wasting, volume depletion and secondary hyperaldosteronism. Ø The rate of kaliuresis is proportional to distal bicarbonate delivery. Because of this alkali therapy tends to exaggerate the hypokalemia.
![Page 38: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Pat ien t s w i th pRTA rare ly deve lop nehrosclerosis or nephrolithiasis. This is thought to be secondary to high citrate excretion.
In children, the hypocalcemia as well as the HCMA will lead to growth retardation, rickets, osteomalacia and an abnormal vitamin D metabolism. In adults osteopenia is generally seen.
![Page 39: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
DISTAL RTA
Distal RTA (dRTA) is a disorder leading to HCMA secondary to impaired distal H+ secretion. It is characterized by inability to lower urine ph maximally(<5.5) under the stimulus of systemic acidemia. The serum HCO3- levels are very low <12 meq/l. It is often associated with hypercalciuria, h y p o c i t r a t u r i a , n e p h r o c a l c i n o s i s , a n d osteomalacia.
![Page 40: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The term incomplete distal RTA has been proposed to describe patients with nephrolithiasis but without metabolic acidosis.
Hypocitraturia is the usual underlying cause.
![Page 41: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
NON SECRETORY DEFECTS CAUSING DISTAL RTA
Gradient defect: backleak of secreted H+ ions. Ex. Amphotericin B
Voltage dependent defect: impaired distal sodium transport ex. Obstructive uropathy, sickle cell disease, CAH, Lithium and amiloride etc.
This form of distal RTA is associated with hyperkalemia(Hyperkalemic distal RTA)
![Page 42: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The most common causes in adults are autoimmune disorders, such as Sjögren's syndrome, and other conditions associated with chronic hyperglobulinemia.
In children, type 1 RTA is most often a primary, hereditary condition.

SECRETORY DEFECTS CAUSING DISTAL RTA
![Page 44: ACIDOSIS TUBULAR RENAL : UNA ENTIDAD CLINICA · Interna con electròlitos séricos y urinarios. OBJECTIVES Physiology of Renal acidification. Types of RTA and characteristics Lab](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022104/5bcd75d609d3f200148daf27/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A high urinary pH (5.5) is found in the majority of patients with a secretory dRTA. Excretion of ammonium is low as a result of less NH4
+trapping. This leads to a positive urine anion gap. Urine PCO2 does not increase normally after a bicarbonate load reflecting decreased distal hydrogen ion secretion. Serum potassium is reduced in 50% of patients. This is thought to be from increased kaliuresis to offset decreased H+ and H-K-ATPase activity.

URINE PH
In humans, the minimum urine pH that can be achieved is 4.5 to 5.0. Ideally urine ph should be measured in a fresh morning urine sample. A low urine ph does not ensure normal distal acidification and vice versa. The urine pH must always be evaluated in conjunction with the urinary NH4+ content to assess the distal acidification process adequately . Urine sodium should be known and urine should not be infected.

URINE ANION GAP
Urine AG = Urine (Na + K - Cl). The urine AG has a negative value in most patients with a normal AG metabolic acidosis.
Patients with renal failure, type 1 (distal) renal tubular acidosis (RTA), or hypoaldosteronism (type 4 RTA) are unable to excrete ammonium normally. As a result, the urine AG will have a positive value.

URINE OSMOLAL GAP
When the urine AG is positive and it is unclear whether increased excretion of unmeasured anions is responsible, the urine ammonium concentration can be estimated from calculation of the urine osmolal gap. UOG=Uosm - 2 x ([Na + K]) + [urea nitrogen]/2.8 + [glucose]/18.
UOG of >100 represents intact NH4 secretion.

URINE PCO2
Measure of distal acid secretion. In pRTA, unabsorbed HCO3 reacts with secreted H+ ions to form H2CO3 that dissociate slowly to form CO2 in MCT. Urine-to-blood pCO2 is <20 in pRTA. Urine-to-blood pCO2 is >20 in distal RTA reflecting impaired ammonium secretion.

TTKG
TTKG is a concentration gradient between the tubular fluid at the end of the cortical collecting tubule and the plasma. TTKG = [Urine K ÷ (Urine osmolality / Plasma osmolality)] ÷ Plasma K. Normal value is 8 and above. Value <7 in a hyperkalemic patient indicates hypoaldosteronism. This formula is relatively accurate as long as the urine osmolality exceeds that of the plasma urine sodium concentration is above 25 meq/L

URINE CITRATE
The proximal tubule reabsorbs most (70-90%) of the filtered citrate. Acid-base status plays the most significant role in citrate excretion. Alkalosis enhances citrate excretion, while acidosis decreases it. Citrate excretion is impaired by acidosis, hypokalemia,high–animal protein diet and UTI.

TREATMENT
Proximal RTA A mixture of Na+ and K+ salts, preferably citrate, is preferable.
10 to 15 meq of alkali/kg may be required per day to stay ahead of urinary losses.
Thiazide diuretic may be beneficial if large doses of alkali are ineffective or not well tolerated.

Bicarbonate wasting is negligible in adults who can generally be treated with 1 to 2 meq/kg of sodium citrate (Bicitra) or bicarbonate.
Potassium citrate, alone or with sodium citrate (Polycitra), is indicated for persistent hypokalemia or for calcium stone disease.
For patients with hyperkalemic distal RTA, high-sodium, low-potassium diet plus a thiazide or loop diuretic if necessary.
Distal RTA
