Fanconi syndrome with acute proximal tubular injury induced by a dietary supplement containing beni-koji: a case series report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fanconi syndrome is a disorder of the proximal tubule that leads to malabsorption of various electrolytes and substances and is a common consequence of drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

After discontinuation of the dietary supplement and cor
