Overview

Alkalization of the urine along with correction of electrolyte abnormalities is the mainstay of treatment in patients diagnosed by renal tubular acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate with potassium replacement are the medications recommended along with correction of underlying cause.

Medical Therapy

Medical therapy is the mainstay of treatment in patients diagnosed by renal tubular acidosis. The pharmacological intervention depends upon the underlying physiological defect and type of renal tubular acidosis.[1][2][3]

Treatment includes correction of pH using alkali therapy and concomitant correction of electrolyte imbalances.

  • In conditions associated with carbonic anhydrase deficiency and proton back leak sodium alkai or potassium alkali solution is recommended to correct the acidosis.
