Causes of Type 2 renal tubular acidosis are all except:
Correct Answer: Essential fructosuria
Description: Ref: Nelson's Textbook of Pediatrics 18th edition: page no.2197Explanation:Renal tubular acidosis (RTA)It is a disease state characterized by a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis resulting from either impaired bicarbonate reabsorption or impaired urinary acid (hydrogen ion) excretion.There are 3 main forms of RTA:Proximal (type II) RTADistal (type I) RTA. andHyperkalemic (type IV) RTA.Mixed lesions (those with elements of type I and II RTA), which occur primarily in patients with inherited carbonic anhydrase deficiency, are designated as type III RTA by some authors.
