What is another word for Proximal Renal Tubular Acidosis?
Pronunciation: [pɹˈɒksɪmə͡l ɹˈiːnə͡l tjˈuːbjʊləɹ ɐsɪdˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (pRTA) is a condition where the kidneys fail to effectively reabsorb bicarbonate, leading to an excess of acid in the blood. In medical literature, pRTA is often referred to as type 2 renal tubular acidosis. There are several synonyms for pRTA, including renal proximal acidosis, renal tubular acidosis type 2, proximal RTA, acidosis proximal renal tubular, and renal bicarbonate wasting. The condition can be caused by a range of underlying disorders, including autoimmune diseases, genetic abnormalities, and drugs or toxins. If left untreated, pRTA can lead to severe complications such as kidney stones, bone loss, and electrolyte imbalances.
