in physiologic distinction from this defect , the renal acidification defect of patients with classic renal tubular acidosis is characterized by ( a ) just less than complete tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate at plasma bicarbonate concentrations of 26 meq/liter or less , ( b ) a normal tm hco ( 3 ) ( - ) of approximately 2.8 meq/100 ml of glomerular filtrate , and ( c ) during acidosis of an even severe degree , a quantitatively trivial bicarbonaturia , as well as ( d ) a urinary ph of greater than 6 .
