What is Fanconi Syndrome?
Fanconi Syndrome is a kidney disorder where essential nutrients and electrolytes are lost through urine. It is most commonly seen in Basenjis.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Fanconi Syndrome
Early signs include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. A urine test showing abnormal glucose levels without high blood sugar confirms the diagnosis.
Treatment for Fanconi Syndrome
While there is no cure, supportive care includes fluid therapy and electrolyte supplementation to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
