Historically, Fanconi in dogs was a well-recognized genetic disease in basenjis. For both dogs, renal status prior to the debut of JFS was unknown and it was unclear whether CKD was pre-existing or a consequence of JFS. The variety of possible causes can make it difficult to pinpoint a particular cause in acquired Fanconi cases, she said. On the y-axis the concentration of the glomerular function marker (serum creatinine (mol/L), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) (g/L), and urea (mmol/L)), and on the x-axis the estimated duration of jerky ingestion (weeks). The acquired form of Fanconi syndrome is seldom identified in dogs; those cases that have been reported have been secondary to hepatic copper toxicosis, primary hypoparathyroidism, ingestion of chicken jerky treats, exposure to ethylene glycol, or gentamicin toxicity. ; formal analysis, S.N., C.F.H.H., T.S.L.A.
