Article Synopsis
  • The long-term effects and treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) from the red yeast rice supplement Benikoji CholesteHelp are not fully understood, but three cases of renal dysfunction improved after stopping the supplement.
  • In the first case, a 59-year-old woman developed severe renal impairment and Fanconi syndrome after 7 months of use, but her kidney function gradually improved over three months post-discontinuation, though not back to baseline levels.
  • The other two cases involved men aged 48 and 47 who experienced mild renal dysfunction after taking the supplement for 2 and 4 months, respectively, both of which showed significant improvement after stopping the supplement, indicating that discontinuation may reverse renal impairment in these scenarios.

Department of Pediatrics, Second Faculty of Medicine, Motol University Hospital, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous recommendations on diagnosing familial renal glucosuria lacked a comprehensive understanding of glucosuria's differential diagnosis.
  • This review aims to summarize the various causes of glucosuria and propose an evidence-based diagnostic approach for children affected by it.
  • The findings indicate that several factors, including genetic and acquired conditions, can impact glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, necessitating the exclusion of diabetes mellitus and other hyperglycemia-related conditions before making a diagnosis.

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. However, cases of dietary supplement-induced Fanconi syndrome are rare, and detailed reports on the evaluation of renal histology in patients with this syndrome are lacking.

Case Presentation: We present two cases of dietary supplement-induced Fanconi syndrome that was confirmed by kidney biopsy.
