Renal Fanconi syndrome (RFS) is caused by generalized proximal tubular dysfunction and can be divided into hereditary and acquired form. Adult-onset RFS is usually associated with drug toxicity or systemic disorders, and modern molecular genetics may explain the etiology of previous idiopathic cases of RFS. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old woman with RFS whose etiology could not be identified. She presented with features of phosphaturia, renal glucosuria, aminoaciduria, tubular proteinuria, and proximal renal tubular acidosis. Her family history was unremarkable, and previous medications were nonspecific. Her bone mineral density was compatible with osteoporosis, serum intact parathyroid hormone level was mildly elevated, and 25(OH) vitamin D level was insufficient. Her blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were 8.4 and 1.19 mg/dL, respectively (estimated glomerular filtration rate, $53mL/min/1.73m^2$). Percutaneous renal biopsy was performed but revealed no specific renal pathology, including mitochondrial morphology. No mutation was detected in EHHADH gene. We propose the possibility of involvement of other genes or molecules in this case of adult RFS.

To elucidate the mechanism of gentamicin induced renal dysfunction, renal functions and activities of various proximal tubular transport systems were studied in gentamicin-treated rats (Fisher 344). Gentamicin nephrotoxicity was induced by injecting gentamicin sulfate subcutaneously at a dose of 100 $mg/kg{\cdot}day$ for 7 days. The gentamicin injection resulted in a marked polyuria, hyposthenuria, proteinuria, glycosuria, aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, natriuresis, and kaliuresis, characteristics of aminoglycoside nephropathy. Such renal functional changes occurred in the face of reduced GFR, thus tubular transport functions appeared to be impaired. The polyuria and hyposthenuria were partly associated with a mild osmotic diuresis, but mostly attributed to a reduction in free water reabsorption. In renal cortical brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from gentamicin-treated rats, the $Na^+$ gradient dependent transport of glucose, alanine, phosphate and succinate was significantly attenuated with no changes in $Na^+-independent$ transport and the membrane permeability to $Na^+$. These results indicate that gentamicin treatment induces a defect in free water reabsorption in the distal nephron and impairs various $Na^+-cotransport$ systems in the proximal tubular brush-border membranes, leading to polyuria, hyposthenuria, and increased urinary excretion of $Na^+$ and other solutes.

Purpose: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is caused by activating mutations in the GNAS gene, resulting in peripheral precocious puberty, caf$\acute{e}$-au-lait spots, and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (POFD). The aim of the present study was to describe the diverse clinical and endocrine characteristics of patients with MAS. Methods: Seven patients with MAS were included in this study and medical charts were reviewed retrospectively for following parameters: patient's sex and age at diagnosis, POFD, ovarian cysts, and precocious puberty. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was $5.8{\pm}4.2$ years. One patient was male (14%) and the other six patients were female (86%). Peripheral precocious puberty was associated with 6 patients (86%). Five patients manifested premature menarche as early as 2 to 5 years of age. Letrozole was administered to 4 patients, tamoxifen to one patient and GnRH agonist to one patient. Five females developed ovarian cysts. Thyroid function tests were performed in all patients and one patient showed hyperthyroidism (14%) and has been treated with methimazole. One patient presented with pseudohypoparathyroisdism, phosphaturia, calciuria suggesting hypophosphatemic rickets. Six patients (86%) revealed POFD. One patient had symptoms of optic nerve compression and secondary esotropia and 2 patients had bone pain. Conclusion: This study described clinical characteristics and endocrine complications of patients with MAS. Careful physical examinations with history taking and serial endocrine function tests should be needed to detect complications such as endocrinologic hyperfunction and POFD.

목 적 : ARC 증후군은 관절구축, 신세뇨관 장애 및 담즙 정체의 동반으로 진단되며, 윈인 유전자(VPS33B)가 확인 된 선천성 질환으로, 전세계적으로 41례 정도가 보고되었고, 국내 보고는 거의 없는 매우 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 신세뇨관 기능부전을 중심으로 7례의 ARC 증후군의 임상 경과를 고찰하여 본질환의 진단에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 3월부터 2005년 8월까지 세브란스병원에 내원한 임상적 진단기준을 만족하는 7례의 ARC 증후군을 대상으로 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아 남, 녀 비는 4:3이었으며, 출생당시 정상체중아가 6례(85$\%$), 미숙아는 1례(14$\%$)였다. 7례 모두 심한 황달을 동반하는 담즙 정체를 보였으며, Brown 등에 의한 관절구축의 분류 기준상 type III 2례, type IV 2례 type VI 1례, type VII 2례, 미분류 1례(14$\%$)였다. 기타 임상양상은 성장장애 6례(85$\%$), 늘어지고 거친 피부 5례(71$\%$), 거대혈소판 4례(57$\%$), 청력장애 2례(29$\%$)였다. 소변 검사상 단백뇨 6례(85$\%$), 혈뇨 3례(43$\%$), 당뇨 5례(71$\%$), 인산뇨 2례(29$\%$), 칼슘뇨 2례(29$\%$)였다. 전해질 검사상 저나트륨혈증 4례(57$\%$), 저칼륨혈증 3례(43$\%$)였고, 혈중 크레아틴치 상승은 1례(14$\%$)에서 관찰되었다. 신세뇨관 기능부전은 신세뇨관 산증 6례(85$\%$), 신성 요붕증 2례(29$\%$), 판코니 증후군 2례(29$\%$)로 나타났다. 치료는 단순관찰 2례(29$\%$), 지속적 전해질 보충 및 산증 교정 5례(85$\%$), 신대체요법 1례(14$\%$)였다. 가계도 분석에서 가계내 발병은 1례에서만 확인되었다. 추적관찰 결과 사망 4례(57$\%$), 생존 2례(29$\%$), 추적관찰 중단 1례(14$\%$)로 사망 환아는 평균 8.1개월에 사망하였으며, 생존 환아의 평균연령은 11.8개월이었다. 결 론 : 전세계적으로 드물게 보고되고 있는 ARC 증후군은 다양한 양상의 신세뇨관 기능 부전을 동반하고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 신세뇨관 기능 손상 정도가 상대적으로 미약하며, 생존 기간도 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 국외 보고와는 달리 대상 환아의 가계 내 동일질환의 발생례가 적어 산발적인 유전자 돌연변이에 의한 발병 가능성도 있으나, 예후가 극히 불량한 본 질환의 철저한 차단을 위하여 무엇보다도 환자 발생 가계 내에서의 정확한 산전 유전자 진단이 요구되는 바이다.
