Overview
Based on underlying defect in concentration of urine process in renal tubule, renal tubular acidosis can be classified into type 1 (distal), type 2 (proximal), type 4 (hypoaldosteronism) and voltage-dependent RTA.
Classification
Renal tubular acidosis can be classified into 4 types. Renal tubular acidosis type 1( distal), renal tubular acidosis type 2 ( proximal), hypoaldosteronism (type 4) and voltage-dependent RTA. Potassium is the most common electrolyte abnormality associated renal tubular acidosis. Hypokalemia is seen in RTA type 1 and type 2 while type 4 and voltage-dependent RTA are hyperkalemic.[1][2][3]
| Type of RTA | Primary defect | Plasma HCO3 mEq/L | Urine pH | Plasma potassium | Urine anion gap | Urine calcium/creatinine ratio | Risk for nephrolithiasis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTA type 1 | Impaired distal acidification | < 10 | >5.3 | Hypokalemic | Positive | ↑ | ↑ |
| RTA type 2 | Reduced proximal HCO3 reabsorption. | 12 to 20 | <5.3 | Hypokalemic | Negative | Normal | - |
| RTA type 3 | Mixed (distal+ proximal RTA) | Variable | Variable | Variable | Variable | Variable | Variable |
| RTA type 4 | Decreased aldosterone secretion
Aldosterone resistance |
>17 | Variable | Hyperkalemia | Positive | Normal | - |
| Voltage-dependent RTA | Reduced sodium reabsorption | >17 | Variable | Hyperkalemia | Positive | Normal | - |
