Some symptoms of Franconi's syndrome are weakness or tiredness, bone pain, and frequent urinating consisting of large amounts. Franconi's syndrome can be diagnosed by several tests and should be treated immediately.

I think you misspelled the word, it's Fanconi's.It is characterized by a cluster of symptoms affecting the kidneys, specifically the proximal convoluted tubules which filters, absorbs and secretes acids. The symptoms are: acidosis, polyuria, dehydration, polydypsia, growth failure in children. Filtration is affected therefore compounds not normally excreted comes out with urination. Symptoms include: glycosuria, proteinuria, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hyperuricosuria, hyperchloremia.
