title: Biologic and therapeutic effects of 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol in different types of Fanconi syndrome.
abstract: The plasma 1,25-(OH)2VD3 level in Fanconi syndrome was low but rose rapidly following the administration of 1 alpha-OHVD3. 1 alpha-OHVD3 was administered to 6 patients with different types of Fanconi syndrome. The effect of 1 alpha-OHVD3 proved to be 200-250 times as great as that of vitamin D2. From our results it was suggested that Ca malabsorption due to failure of 1 alpha-hydroxylation of vitamin D in the kidney, together with renal tubular acidosis and hypophosphatemia, is involved in the pathogenesis of the rickets of Fanconi syndrome.
