Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fanconi syndrome is a feature of cystinosis, a rare genetic disorder in which cystine crystals accumulate in the organs, including the kidneys. The buildup of cystine in the kidneys causes damage to the tubular cells, resulting in a loss of essential nutrients and minerals, such as glucose, amino acids, and bicarbonate, leading to Fanconi syndrome. Cystinuria, on the other hand, is a genetic disorder that leads to the formation of kidney stones composed of cystine.
