What Is Williams Syndrome?
4. Kidney Abnormalities
Williams syndrome will also often cause abnormalities with the patient’s kidneys. This can lead to further complications as the patient may be unable to filter toxins and impurities from their blood effectively. Many patients with the syndrome will need to be treated accordingly.
A sunken chest is another symptom of the syndrome. Colic is another symptom, in which the patient is especially fussy and cries a lot more than is usual. Colic can also cause other symptoms such as passing gas, an arched back, and clenched fists. The patient may also experience feeding problems, which can further hinder their development.
