In type 4 RTA acidity will normalize if potassium is reduced. This is done by changing the diet and by using diuretic medicines

Type 4 renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is often caused by aldosterone deficiency or resistance. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as managing adrenal insufficiency or increasing aldosterone levels. Sodium bicarbonate may be used to correct acidosis if present. Potassium-sparing diuretics may also be prescribed to manage electrolyte imbalances.
