4) Ileal conduit. Not that common, but I had 2 consults for them so

👉When urine ⬆️ in NH4Cl empties into a section of the ileum, NH4 is reabsorbed through the Na-H antiporter of the ileum. Bile acid malabsorption may also cause diarrhea.

👉In sigmoid diversion, Cl is absorbed in exchange for HCO3.
Metabolic Consequences after Urinary Diversion
Metabolic disturbances are well-known, but sometimes neglected immediate consequences or late sequelae following urinary diversion (UD) using bowel segments. Whereas subclinical disturbances appear to...

3) Hyperkalemia of any cause including ⬇️ volume and meds. Technically, this is an acquired hyperkalemic RTA, but it does not 🟰 hypoaldosteronism.

👉HyperK impairs ammoniagenesis in the PT

👉K competes with NH4 for reabsorption in the TAL via NKCC2 ⬇️ medullary NH3 gradient for NH4 excretion.
Mechanism of Hyperkalemia-Induced Metabolic Acidosis
Background Hyperkalemia in association with metabolic acidosis that are out of proportion to changes in glomerular filtration rate defines type 4 renal tubular acidosis (RTA), the most common RTA obse...

1) Compensation for a respiratory alkalosis. Patients with cirrhosis may have a chronic respiratory alkalosis. In this abstract from @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social and others at ASN Kidney week, 60% of people with cirrhosis and a metabolic acidosis had a primary respiratory alkalosis (pH > 7.35).
