Fanconi Syndrome is a rare kidney disease that damages the proximal tubules, making it harder for them to take important minerals and nutrients back into the circulation. Because of this, the body loses glucose, phosphate, bicarbonate, potassium, and amino acids in the urine, which causes many metabolic abnormalities. It is possible to inherit or acquire the condition. Genetic diseases like cystinosis, Wilson's disease, or Lowe syndrome are commonly the cause of inherited instances. Acquired forms may arise from exposure to specific drugs, like ifosfamide, tenofovir, or obsolete tetracyclines, as well as heavy metal toxicity or persistent illnesses such as multiple myeloma and kidney transplants.

Some of the symptoms are too much urination, dehydration, muscle weakness, bone discomfort, slow growth, and metabolic acidosis.

To make a diagnosis, doctors do urine and blood tests to check for loss of important solutes and changes in acid-base balance. Treatment focuses on taking care of the underlying problem and replenishing lost nutrients and electrolytes, such as bicarbonate and phosphate. Early identification and supportive care can stop chronic renal disease and bone abnormalities from happening. Regular check-ins and close monitoring of patients' medications are crucial to maintain kidney function and reduce the risk of complications.
