Abstract:
Fanconi syndrome is a complex of renal tubular dysfunction defined by glycosuria without diabetes, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, bicarbonaturia, uric aciduria, and renal tubular acidosis. It is often associated with hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, rickets and osteomalacia. We have experienced one case of Fanconi syndrome with chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. The patient was a 4 year old and his chief complaints were polyuria, polydipsia, and poor weight gain. There were hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, glycosuria, generalized aminoaciduria and phosphaturia. We report a case of Fanconi syndrome with brief review of the literatures.
