Essential fructosuria
Essential fructosuria, also known as hepatic fructokinase deficiency or ketohexokinase deficiency,[1] is a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in hepatic fructokinase, leading to fructose being excreted in the urine (-uria denotes "in the urine"). It is essentially a benign condition, as fructose cannot be broken down, so it is simply excreted in the urine.[2] Inheritance is autosomal recessive.[3] Essential fructosuria should not be confused with fructosemia, which denotes fructose in the blood (also known as hereditary fructose intolerance). Fructosemia is a very serious condition, as fructose is converted into fructose-1-phosphate, using up ATP and building up fructose-1-phosphate in the blood. This prevents proper release of glucose from glycogen, uses up free phosphate, and causes a rise in uric acid, leading to growth abnormalities and, in severe cases, coma.
