Tubulopathies
About the disease & condition
Tubulopathies are a group of kidney disorders that affect the renal tubules, which are responsible for reabsorbing water, electrolytes, and nutrients from the urine. When these tubules do not function properly, it leads to imbalances in fluids, electrolytes, and acid–base levels in the body. Tubulopathies may be inherited or acquired and can occur in both children and adults. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are important to prevent complications and protect long-term kidney function.
