Type I renal tubular acidosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1321454324

Distal renal tubular acidosis is characterised by an elevation in urinary pH despite the presence of serum acidosis. Complete distal tubular renal acidosis is responsible for delayed growth, plasma acidosis with hyperchloremia, hypokalaemia, and hypercalciuria with nephrocalcinosis and hypocitruria. Deafness may be associated.
