I know this forum is for Kidney Dialysis but I am reaching out for help. I have Type1 dRTA. It has taken 5 years to diagnosis. I keep going into metabolic acidosis which leads to metabolic acidosis. I am on sodium bicarbonate tablets and potassium and magnesium supplements. The doctors in the ER don’t know what it is and don’t know how to treat it.
