Step II RTA type 1-4

[jakstat]

Anyone come up with a easy way to memorize these?

 

[IM Substance P]

It's not very good, but here's nothing:

RTA 1 - Auto1mmune disease, impaired secretion of H+ (1st element in periodic table)
RTA 2 - Heavy metals (which carry 2+ in periodic table)
RTA 4 - Low 4ldosterone, also most distal so it has the highest number

 

[IM Substance P]

I have actually not seen these on either Step exam or on any shelf exams by the by.
