However, some recent studies refute this impression or at least bring its validity into question. The condition is benign and carries a good prognosis. The likelihood of its being accorded serious import or even being treated as diabetes mellitus, gives renal glycosuria a prominent place in the diagnostic consideration of the medical work-up of any case of melituria. The reports of Blotner and Hyde1and the Peels2regard renal glycosuria as a relatively common finding, the former reporting one person in 11 with melituria as...Bibliography1.
