Renal Tubular Acidosis, Hope Through Research

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research into many kinds of kidney disease, including renal tubular acidosis. NIDDK-supported researchers are exploring the genetic and molecular mechanisms that control acid-base regulation in the kidney. These studies will point the way to more effective treatments for RTA.
