Nephrocalcinosis in Type I (distal) RTA. There is impaired H+ secretion because of H+/K+ pump dysnfunction in the intercalated cell. So there is acidemia (metabolic acidosis) with highly alkaline urine. The bone buffers the acid and releases calcium phosphate in blood. Tubular reabsoprtion of Calcium phosphate is therefore reduced. For this reason and the alkaline urine, stone formation is favorable.
