The so called proximal type of renal tubular acidosis, type 2 RTA, is characterized by
a. Reduced carbonate reabsorption and plasma bicarbonate levels between 12 and 20 mEq/L
b. Impaired renal tubular acidification and serum bicarbonate levels often below 10 mEq/L
c. High serum K+ levels
d. The loss of large amounts of protein and glucose.
