Treatment
Symptomatic treatment is directed towards a stabilization of glucose homeostasis and compensation for renal losses of various solutes. [doi.org]
Management and treatment Treatment of FBG is symptomatic revolving around compensation of the renal syndrome with replacement of water and electrolytes. Vitamin D and phosphate supplements are essential for preventing hypophosphatemic rickets. [orpha.net]
Treatment and Prevention There is no fully effective treatment for Fanconi Bickel syndrome. Supplement treatments consisting of water, electrolytes, and vitamin D may be used in combination with a galactose-restricted diet. [liverdirectory.com]
There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment There is no way to fully cure Fanconi Bickel syndrome. [amsety.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis The long-term prognosis is unknown. The renal tubular dysfunction persists into adulthood but in most cases does not appear to progress to renal failure. [orpha.net]
Prognosis The long-term prognosis has not been determined. It may depend on the severity of symptoms and early diagnosis and treatment of symptoms. [encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis : mostly death by age 4, due to cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Type V: McArdle's disease See the separate article on McArdle's Glycogen Storage Disease. [patient.info]
Etiology
Etiology FBG is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC2A2 gene (3q26.2-q27). [orpha.net]
Etiology The etiology of GSD is best understood by following the metabolic events leading to the synthesis (glycogenesis) and degradation of glycogen (glycogenolysis). [knowledge.statpearls.com]
Although it is postulated to be due to phosphaturia induced down- regulation of renal tubular 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity, the etiology of hypercalciuria remains uncertain [7]. [indianpediatrics.net]
