Fanconi syndrome with lysinuric protein intolerance

چکیده
We present the case of a 9-year-old child with lysinuric protein intolerance and Fanconi syndrome. She was referred to our hospital with a persistent metabolic acidosis and polyuria. Renal investigations revealed all laboratory signs of Fanconi syndrome, with glucosuria, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia and severe hypercalciuria. The diagnosis of Fanconi syndrome was confirmed by a renal biopsy that showed extensive lesions of proximal tubular epithelial cells with vacuolation of these cells and a sloughing of the brush border.

Recurrent stupor in children is an uncommon clinical problem with a wide differential diagnosis; inherited metabolic disorders account for a vast majority. We report a 9-year-old girl with recurrent episodes of stupor. Initial episode was treated as viral encephalitis and the second episode was managed as non-convulsive status epilepticus. Hyperammonemia was detected in the last episode. Metabo...

They were of normal intellect and had maintained good health, until p...
متن کاملIntestinal absorption in lysinuric protein intolerance: impaired for diamino acids, normal for citrulline.
Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is an autosomal recessive defect of diamino acid transport characterised by massive diaminoaciduria, especially lysinuria, with hyperammonaemia after heavy nitrogen intake. The defect has previously been demonstrated in the kidney, and is probably present in the liver cells. To evaluate the effect of the LPI gene on the net intestinal absorption of the diamin...

Hyperammonemia is a true neonatal emergency with high toxicity for the central nervous system and developmental delay. The causes of neonatal hyperammonemia are genetic defects of urea cycle enzymes, organic acidemias, lysinuric protein intolerance, hyperammonemia-hyperornithinemia- homocitrullinemia syndrome, transient hyperammonemia of the newborn, and congenital hyperinsulinism with hyperamm...
