Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by reduced intestinal resoption of glucose and galactose. The accompanying renal symptom is glucosuria.
Diarrhea | |
Diarrhea manifests within the first weeks of life and causes severe life threatening dehydration unless glucose and galactose are eliminated from the diet. |
|
Nephrocalcinosis | |
In patient with glucose-galactose malabsorption also nephrocalcinosis can develop associated with proximal tubular damage such as acidosis. |
|
Acidosis | |
Patients with glucose-galactose malabsorption may also show renal tubular acidosis based on proximal tubular damage. |
