Abstract
Renal Tubular Acidosis is characterized by the failure of kidney to excrete acid in urine by
affecting the reabsorption of bicarbonate ion or excretion of ammonia. Different treatments are used to
treat underlying cause but the first goal of treatment is to neutralize the acid in blood. Shohl’s solution
(bicitra, polycitra & polycitra K) is used to neutralize acid in blood. During the study 34 patients taking
bicitra, polycitra and polycitra K were observed for 6 months and sodium, potassium, bicarbonate and pH
values were measured at least twice during that period. It was observed that 44 % patients showed no
change in prescription, 15 % patients showed change in medicine and 41 % patients exhibited change in
dose. The changes in the observed parameters were due to bicarbonate level. Hereditary Factor was also
observed and it was concluded that parents of 85 % patients had cousin marriages.
