• Failure to Thrive

  Failure to thrive is generally noticed after approximately age six months; signs of renal tubular Fanconi syndrome (polyuria, polydipsia, dehydration, and acidosis) appear as early as age six months; corneal crystals can be present before age one year [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Cystinosis may present with symptoms of polyuria, thirst, failure to thrive, growth retardation, vomiting, periods of dehydration, constipation and developmental delay. [jcdr.net]

  Infants with the disorder are extremely fussy babies and initially show failure to thrive and later failure to grow normally. [avrobio.com]

  The disease results in deposition of crystals throughout the body; if untreated, it leads to failure to thrive, profound metabolic imbalance, early end-stage renal disease, thyroid failure, and multiorgan dysfunction. [nejm.org]
