but this could be Von gierke's !! everything is classic for that, even when you give Fructose, Galactose, Epinephrine or Glucagon you still can not raise the [Glu] plus the hyperuricemia and gout is more common in Von Gierke's. so is Hyperlipidemia.
i think this can enlarge the kidney because Gluconeogenesis also happens in renal medulla too. (just a thought)
besides Fructose intolerance caused Fanconi-like syndrome not RENOMEGALLY !!
guys correct me if i am wrong.
