The Fanconi syndrome is a common side effect of the chemotherapeutic agent ifosfamide. Current evidences suggest that chloroacetaldehyde (CAA), one of the main metabolites of ifosfamide activation, contributes to its nephrotoxicity. However, the pathophysiology of CAA-induced Fanconi syndrome is not
