Show notes
Renal tubular acidosis aka RTA deconstructed by @Kidney_Boy, Joel Topf MD, Chief of Nephrology at Kashlak Memorial Hospital. We review the three buckets of non gap metabolic acidosis, normal renal physiology & acid base handling, points of failure in RTA, complications and treatment of RTA. Check out Dr Topf’s awesome slides on renal tubular acidosis at http://thecurbsiders.com/podcast .
