Fanconi Syndrome
Fanconi Syndrome is a rare kidney disorder that affects the renal tubules, leading to improper reabsorption of essential substances like glucose, amino acids, and phosphate. This results in the loss of these vital nutrients in the urine, which can cause various health issues, including growth problems and bone disease.
The syndrome can be inherited or acquired due to factors such as certain medications, heavy metal exposure, or underlying conditions like Wilson's disease. Diagnosis typically involves urine tests and blood tests to assess kidney function and nutrient levels. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and replacing lost nutrients.
