Symptom 3. Dehydration
Dehydration is a more severe symptom that can arise from the excessive loss of water through urination in individuals with Fanconi syndrome. As the body struggles to maintain a proper balance of fluids, it can lead to dehydration, which may manifest in various ways.
Early signs of dehydration include dry skin, lips, and mouth, as well as dark-colored urine. As the condition progresses, affected individuals may experience dizziness, fatigue, and even rapid heartbeat. In severe cases, dehydration can lead to complications such as low blood pressure, kidney damage, and shock.
It’s crucial to address dehydration promptly to prevent further health complications. Drinking sufficient water and electrolyte replacement fluids can help combat dehydration. But it’s essential to work with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action in the context of Fanconi syndrome.
Managing the underlying cause of dehydration in individuals with Fanconi syndrome can help alleviate this symptom and prevent further complications, ultimately improving overall health and well-being. (3)
