| anemia | <haematology> Too few red blood cells in the bloodstream, resulting in insufficient oxygen to tissues and organs. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (16 Dec 1997) |
|---|---|
| pancytopenia, fanconi | A genetic (inherited) disease with progressive decline in blood cells and a tendency to leukaemia. Also known as fanconi anaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| De Toni-Fanconi syndrome | Lysosomal storage disorders of unknown molecular defect, characterised by widespread deposition of cystine crystals in reticuloendothelial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Fanconi, Guido | <person> Swiss paediatrician, 1892-1979. See: Fanconi's anaemia, Fanconi's pancytopenia, Fanconi's syndrome, De Toni-Fanconi syndrome, Lignac-Fanconi syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fanconi's anaemia | <haematology> A rare inherited type of aplastic anaemia which carries an increased risk to the patient of developing leukaemia. May be treated by bone marrow transplant. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (13 Nov 1997) |
| Fanconi's pancytopenia | fanconi's anaemia |
| Fanconi's syndrome | <syndrome> A group of conditions with characteristic disorders of renal tubular function, which may be classified as: 1. Cystinosis, an autosomal recessive disease of early childhood. 2. Adult Fanconi syndrome, a rare hereditary form, probably due to a recessive gene different from that found in cystinosis, characterised by the tubular malfunction seen in cystinosis and by osteomalacia, but without cystine deposit in tissues. 3. Acquired Fanconi syndrome, which may be associated with multiple myeloma or may result from chemical poisoning, injury, or persisting damage of proximal tubular epithelium due to various causes, leading to multiple defects of tubular function.

| Fanconi syndrome | <syndrome> Transport disease (recessive defect) in which the renal reabsorption of several substances (phosphate, glucose, amino acids) is impaired. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Lignac-Fanconi syndrome | Lysosomal storage disorders of unknown molecular defect, characterised by widespread deposition of cystine crystals in reticuloendothelial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
