What are Potential Disorders Affecting Tubular Function in Pediatrics?
Several conditions can impact tubular secretion and reabsorption in children, including:
- Renal Tubular Acidosis: A disorder affecting acid-base balance due to defective hydrogen ion secretion or bicarbonate reabsorption. - Fanconi Syndrome: Characterized by defective reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and phosphate. - Bartter Syndrome: A defect in sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle.
