All are true about Renal tubular acidosis except.
*Renal tubular acidosis type 2 is characterized by PCT damage and inability to reabsorb bicarbonate resulting in bicarbonaturia. * The damage to DCT in A 1 leads to an inability to acidify urine due to damage to H+ K+ antipoer * The concomitant calcium loss in urine leads to nephrolithiasis and rickets.
