#101-105 - Renal Tubular Acidosis

Hello Friends 👋

On this week's episode of the Incubator and Neonatology Review podcast, we review the often frustrating topic of renal tubular acidosis. A board favorite, Daphna and I break down the most common types and how to diagnose them. We were fortunate to chat with the amazing Dr. Michelle Starr on Thursday, and she gave us an amazing overview of RTAs and answered our many questions. If you are not familiar with Dr. Starr, go check out her profile on Twitter and her work with the Kidney Collaborative. Don't forget to claim your CME credit and to download this week's presentation. See you next time!

The body temporarily buffers hydrogen ions (H+) with plasma proteins, hemoglobin, and bicarbonate (HCO3−), but H+ must be excreted to prevent acidosis. The major functions of the kidneys in acid-base homeostasis are to excrete H+ and reabsorb HCO3−. Failure to perform these functions results in HCO3…
