| • Type 1: Distal RTA (most common)—‘complete’ and ‘incomplete’ (hypokalaemia common) |
| • Type 2: Proximal RTA |
| • Type 3: A poorly characterized mixture of 1 and 2 in infants and which may reflect an ‘immature’ renal tubule |
| • Type 4: Hypoaldosteronism (real or apparent)—‘distal-like’ with hyperkalaemia |
