Fanconi syndrome

Fanconi syndrome's disease overview

What is

What is fanconi syndrome?

In normal people, the kidneys have the function of eliminating toxins out of the body, adjusting water balance, electrolytes, adjusting blood pressure and stimulating the body to produce red blood cells,

Fanconi syndrome is a rare disorders of renal tubular function, causing renal function to weaken, causing excess substances such as glucose, amino acid, phosphate, acid Uric, potassium ... are excreted in urine. The disease causes the body to slow down, bone damage, kidneys endanger the health of the patient.

Causes of Fanconi syndrome's disease

Fanconi syndrome is a rare disorder of renal tubular function that can be primary or secondary. The possible causes of this syndrome include:

Due to genetics (Nguyen Phat) is the main cause of disease.

Due to exposure to drugs such as chemotherapy, viral treatment, chemicals, heavy metals such as lead, mercury.

Due to vitamin D deficiency, protein.

Due to abnormalities after kidney transplantation, multiple myeloma disease.

Symptoms of Fanconi syndrome's disease

Symptoms of the common fanconi syndrome such as:

In the stage of emulsion appears symptoms such as drinking too much water, excessive urination.

Children with fanconi syndrome often have underdeveloped, slow growth, developmental retardation, chronic kidney disease sometimes need kidney transplantation for treatment.

Adults with illness often do not manifest symptoms until the disorders have occurred for a long time. The most common symptom is fatigue, weakness, bone pain.

It is necessary to distinguish between fanconi syndrome and fanconi anemia syndrome (a genetic anemia that leads to bone marrow failure).

People at risk for Fanconi syndrome's disease

Fanconi syndrome may be encountered in all subjects and all ages including adults and children. The disease may be genetic (primary) or due to exposure to chemicals, heavy metals or after renal transplantation (secondary).

Diagnostic measures for Fanconi syndrome's disease

Diagnosis fanconi syndrome combines clinical examination along with diagnostic tests.

Clinical examination identifies the symptoms of fanconi syndrome such as growth, growth in children or fatigue, bone pain in adults. When children have such symptoms, they need to go to the doctor at reputable pediatric specialists to ensure timely diagnosis for children. The doctor will identify the symptoms that the patient suffered from the judgment and finding appropriate treatment.

Perform blood and urine tests to find abnormalities during the elimination of kidney substances. Evaluate the concentration of substances found in blood and urine such as glucose, uric acid, phosphate are reliable evidence that helps confirm the diagnosis of fanconi syndrome.

Perform image diagnostic techniques to find damage and complications of bones and kidneys to assess the condition of the patient to help orient the appropriate treatment for patients. P>

Fanconi syndrome's disease treatments

fanconi syndrome cannot be cured but can be well controlled if the patient follows and is actively treated. The purpose of treatment is to help better control the disease. Patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for good results.

Treatment helps protect the kidneys and bones to avoid new lesions for patients with fanconi syndrome.

For patients with fanconi syndrome that causes metabolic acidosis can interfere with sodium bicarbonate. Potassium -deficient patients may compensate for potassium when necessary.

It is necessary to supplement vitamin D and phosphate to help treat bone disease, kidney transplant when children develop kidney failure to treat children. When performing such treatments, regular monitoring for children should be monitored.

Fanconi syndrome if well treated will have positive changes. Patients need to go to the examination period after treatment to promptly take the best and effective treatment to avoid unfortunate cases.
