Renal Tubular Acidosis

Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA) is a kidney disorder where the kidneys fail to properly remove acids from the blood, leading to a buildup of acidity. This can disrupt the body's pH balance and result in symptoms like fatigue, muscle weakness, and growth issues in children. RTA can be caused by genetic factors, certain medications, or diseases. Treatment usually involves managing symptoms and correcting the acid-base balance through medications or dietary changes. It's important for individuals with RTA to work closely with healthcare providers to monitor their condition.
