Hereditary fructose intolerance is a disorder in which a person lacks the protein needed to break down fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar that naturally occurs in the body.

Fructose intolerance - the inability to break down fructose, which is a type of simple sugar found in fruits, fruit juices, sugar (for example, cane sugar) and certain vegetables.

Fructose Intolerance, Hereditary Causes, Symptoms And Treatment And Related Disorders
There are three inherited disorders of fructose metabolism that are recognized and characterized.

Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) . Also known as Fructose-1-Phosphate Aldolase Deficiency , Fructosemia Disorder. An inherited inability to digest fructose (fruit sugar) or its precursors (sugar, sorbitol and brown sugar).

Hereditary fructose intolerance may be relatively mild or a very severe disease. Complete avoidance of fructose and sucrose produces good results in most children with this condition. A few children will go on to develop severe liver disease.

Definition Hereditary fructose intolerance is a metabolic disorder in which the small intestine cannot process fructose (fruit sugar) into a source of energy because of an enzyme deficiency that prevents fructose absorption.
