Delayed diagnosis of plasma cell disorder-related Fanconi syndrome in young adults presenting as osteomalacia: report of two cases with normokalemia and normal haematological parameters at the time of presentation
Abstract:Adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is rare and diagnosis is frequently delayed. Fanconi syndrome (FS) due to monoclonal gammopathy is a well-recognized, but rare cause of hypophosphatemia. The relatively young age of patients and normal routine hematological parameters often results in late recognition of this treatable disease entity. Low phosphorus, elevated alkaline phosphatase, mildly impaired renal function and hypokalemia are often the only abnormalities on routine evaluation. We summarize the cli… Show more
