Overview

The estimated annual incidence of distal renal tubular acidosis is 10 in 100,000 population. Renal tubular acidosis is more common in infants than other group of population. There is a racial predilection for renal tubular acidosis.

Epidemiology

Incidence

• The estimated annual incidence of distal renal tubular acidosis is 10 in 100,000 population.
• Proximal renal tubular acidosis is less common than distal renal tubular acidosis.

Demographics

Age

• Renal tubular acidosis is more common in infants than the other group of population.

Gender

• Distal renal tubular acidosis affects men and women equally.
• However, proximal renal tubular acidosis is more common in males than females.

Race

• There is racial predilection for renal tubular acidosis.
