Signs & Symptoms Of Fanconi Syndrome

Rickets

Rickets is a disorder that affects the skeleton caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, phosphate, or calcium, which are some of the vitamins and minerals lost through excessive filtration in Fanconi syndrome. These nutrients are essential for strong and healthy bones. Individuals who develop rickets often suffer from soft and weakened bones, stunted bone growth and development, and, in more severe cases, skeletal deformities. The condition typically comes with pain and tenderness in the rapidly growing bones. Rickets as a symptom of Fanconi syndrome is more commonly present in children, typically between six months old and three years old, whereas osteomalacia is more commonly present in adults with the syndrome.
