Resumen

Essential fructosuria is a benign autosomal recessive disorder in which there is a deficiency caused by a deficiency fructokinase enzyme. People with essential fructosuria don't metabolize fructose properly after ingesting a fructose-rich diet, causing it to be in urine, hence the name fructosuria.
