Hereditary Fructose Intolerance
Alternate Names : Fructose Aldolase B-Deficiency, Fructose Intolerance, Fructosemia
Calling Your Health Care Provider
Call your health care provider if your child has developed the above symptoms after you began feeding the child formula or solid food. The care of a medical specialist in Biochemical Genetics or Metabolism is strongly recommended if your child has this disorder.
Preliminary evidence suggests that parents of a child with this disorder (as well as other carriers of the mutant gene) may be at increased risk for gout (arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the body and uric acid crystals in the joints). Therefore, it is important to notify your physician if you have a family history of hereditary fructose intolerance.
