Fanconi syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys' tubule system that causes an excess amount of glucose, bicarbonate, and phosphate excretion in the urine. It also allows uric acid, potassium, and amino acids to be passed into the urine as well. The causes of this condition include exposure to chemotherapy, heavy metals or chemicals, vitamin D deficiency, kidney transplantation, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis. This condition is also believed to be heredity and caused by faulty genes.
