Adult Fanconi syndrome with monoclonal abnormality of immunoglobulin light chain

J F Harrison 1, J D Blainey 1
PMCID: PMC473418  PMID: 6016886

Abstract

Two adult cases of the Fanconi syndrome are described, in each of which there was abnormal urinary excretion of immunoglobulin κ-chain. The significance of this finding is discussed in relation to the recognized association between multiple myeloma and the Fanconi syndrome.
