Type 2 RTA dysfunction and characteristics,”Inability to reabsorb bicarb at the proximal tubule, resulting in increased excretion + loss of K and Na. Causes = Fanconi syndrome, multiple myeloma (excretion of monoclonal light chains)Stones do not occurRx= treat underlying cause, do not give bicarb (will make worse)
