Oral findings in patients with distal tubular acidosis

Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA) is a disease associated with the accumulation of uric acid in the body due to the kidney’s inability to filter urine. It can be two forms – primary and secondary (acquired). The most common form of primary RTA among children is Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis. It causes characteristic oral changes – the teeth have imperfect amelogenesis. For more information click here.
