kidney anatomy, de toni-fanconi syndrome, fanconi's syndrome, impairment, in the proximal tubular function, the kidney, damage causes, certain compounds, absorbed, bloodstream by the kidneys, to be excreted, in the urine instead, compounds that lost, in the urine include glucose, amino acids, uric acid, phosphate, loss of these compounds, cause problems, growth failure, decreased bone mineralization, rickets, abnormal bone mineralization, osteomalacia, type 1 renal tubular acidosis, rta, occurs, too much bicarbonate is excreted, in the urine, causing excess acid, in the blood, acidosis, another problem, result is dehydration, excess urination, fanconi's syndrome, genetic, acquired later in life, common causes, fanconi's syndrome in children, genetic defects impairing the body's ability to break down certain compounds, amino acid cystine, cystinosis, fructose, fructose intolerance, galactose, galactosemia, glycogen, glycogen storage diseases, cystinosis, most common cause of fanconi's syndrome in children, lowe's disease, oculocerebrorenal syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, the eyes, brain, kidneys, cause fanconi's syndrome, another genetic defect, cause fanconi's syndrome is wilson's disease, copper to collect, in the kidneys, liver, eyes, organs, similarly, exposure to heavy metals, lead poisoning, cause fanconi's syndrome, no genetic disease, in adults, fanconi's syndrome, various acquired disorders that damage the tubules, the kidneys, in children, exposure to heavy metals lead, mercury, cadmium, kidneys, damaged, prescribed drugs cidofovir, treat aids-related cytomegalovirus disease, gentamicin, tetracycline used after its expiration date, azathioprine, suppress the immune system after organ transplantation, to treat certain autoimmune disorders, kidney damage fanconi's syndrome, dysproteinemias, abnormal protein deposits, in the kidney, multiple myeloma, light chain deposition disease, primary amyloidosis, a result of a kidney transplant, in both children, adults, cause of fanconi's syndrome is not known, excess amounts, in the urine, amino acids, glucose, phosphate, magnesium, potassium, bicarbonate, sodium, growth failure, rickets in children, osteomalacia in adults, abnormal bone mineralization, causing an increased incidence of fractures, dehydration, due to excess urination, many different diseases, cause fanconi's syndrome, underlying disease, treatment available, wilson's disease is treated, d-penicillamine, binds excess copper, in the blood, cystinosis is treated, cysteamine, removes cystine, most disorders causing fanconi's syndrome cannot be treated, in these cases, treated instead, symptomatic therapy includes, alkali therapy, treats acidosis by increasing the ph, the blood, replacement of electrolytes potassium, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, supplementing the diet, vitamin d, prevent rickets, osteomalacia, support groups exist, the diseases, result in fanconi's syndrome, prognosis depends on the underlying disease, dehydration, muscle weakness occurs.
