Fanconi renotubular syndrome

Definition:

Fanconi renotubular syndrome (FRTS) is a disease resulting from a generalized dysfunction of the proximal kidney tubule leading to decreased solute and water reabsorption. Patients had a generalized proximal tubulopathy, renal phosphate wasting, bone mineral deficiency, and decreased glomerular filtration rates. It is reported that mutations in SLC34A1, which encodes the renal sodium-inorganic phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa, may cause this disease.
