Key Takeaways

Hereditary fructose intolerance is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which there is a deficiency of the aldolase B enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of fructose 1-phosphate. People with hereditary fructose intolerance present with severe hypoglycemia, vomiting, hepatomegaly, and renal failure.
