Fanconi syndrome causes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Fanconi syndrome could be the result or complication of various causes affecting the normal function of Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT); in a simple and useful classification method, the causes could be classified as[1][2]:
- Genetic causes
- Accumulation of a toxic substance (e.g. Cystinosis, Tyrosinemia, Lysinuric Protein Intolerance, Glycogen Storage Diseases, Galactosemia, Wilson, Fructose Intolerance)
- Energy provision failure (e.g. Mitochondriopathies)
- Disruption of endocytosis and intracellular transport mechanisms (e.g. ARC syndrome, Lowe syndrome and Dent disease).
- Exogenous causes (e.g. Heavy metals exposure, Drugs, Chemotherapy)
- Acquired causes (e.g. Multiple myeloma, Amyloidosis, Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
