Overview
Renal tubular disorders encompass a group of diseases that affect the tubular structures of the kidneys, which are responsible for filtering and reabsorbing essential substances and excreting waste products into the urine. These disorders can lead to significant disruptions in the kidneys’ ability to manage water and electrolyte balances, pH levels, and excretion of metabolic waste.
Renal tubular disorders can significantly affect daily life by causing symptoms such as excessive thirst and urination, dehydration, growth retardation in children, and more severe symptoms like kidney stones, bone diseases, and progressive kidney failure. The varied symptoms can drastically interfere with personal and professional life, necessitating comprehensive medical care.
