Fanconi Syndrome treatment in León

Fanconi syndrome is a kidney disorder in which the tubules of the kidneys do not properly reabsorb various substances, causing their loss through the urine, such as glucose, amino acids and minerals.

Common symptoms: Excessive thirst and urine, weakness, growth alterations in children and imbalances of salts and minerals.

Common causes: It can be of hereditary or acquired origin, and in childhood it is usually associated with genetic conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The management of Fanconi syndrome falls to the nephrologist and, in children, the pediatric nephrologist. In the face of signs of kidney alteration, seeing these professionals allows a detailed evaluation of kidney function. Identifying the loss of substances in the urine in time makes for better follow-up of the condition.
