title: Evidence for a defect in vitamin D metabolism in a patient with incomplete Fanconi syndrome.
abstract: A patient with incomplete Fanconi syndrome (no metabolic acidosis) presented with muscle weakness and biochemical and radiographic evidence of osteomalacia. Despite hypophosphatemia and increased PTH levels, circulating concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were inappropriately low. Treatment with the vitamin D metabolite and hydrochlorothiazide was attended by enhanced calcium and phosphorus balance. Impaired vitamin D metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of osteomalacia in the Fanconi syndrome.
