Chapter Nineteen: Metabolic Acidosis, part 3 Feb 22, 2026 01:57:58 ReferencesChapter 19, Part 3 August 30, 2023Joel and Roger mentioned the most common cause seems to be Sjögren’s syndrome for an acquired distal RTA. We mentioned this in an earlier episode and referenced this example of an absence of the H+ ATPase, presumably from autoantibodies to this transporter. Here’s a case report: Absence of H(+)-ATPase in cortical collecting tubules of a patient with Sjog
