Acidosis of renal origin is an increased hydrogen ion concentration due to an impairment in the excretion of titratable acid and/or ammonium ion, to an excessive excretion of bicarbonate, or to a combination of these two defects.1-4 While all renal acidosis is presumably tubular in origin, the term "renal tubular acidosis" has come to represent (and will be so used in this text) that syndrome characterized by a hyperchloremic acidosis resulting from marked impairment in the ability to excrete an acid urine.3-15 The latter is significantly out of proportion to any impairment in glomerular filtration, and hence is not associated
