Type II renal tubular acidosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1207939938

This is a type of renal tubular acidosis caused by a failure of the proximal tubular cells to reabsorb filtered bicarbonate from the urine, leading to urinary bicarbonate wasting and subsequent increased acidity of the blood (acidemia).
