good question. i too used to have confusion between fanconi syndrome and fanconi anemia.

in fanconi syndrome we have decreased absorbtion of all the solutes in the proximal tubule leading to glucosuria, phosphaturia, aminoaciduria, bicarbonaturia, and proteinuria. it is due to energy ATP problem.

cystinosis is most commonly associated with it.

other associations are galacosimia, fructosse intolerance, tyrosinemia lead poisoning , glcogen storages ,wilsons tetrayclins and amioglycosides.



now Fanconi anemia.

it is a inherited bone marrow failure. all cell types decreased. AR, absent radii. etc

The patient has Fructosuria, hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis after fructose ingestion, vomiting, apathy, diarrhea, liver damage, jaundice.
