Renal glycosuria is an inherited disorder of renal tubule function in which significant amounts of glucose are excreted in the urine in the simultaneous presence of normal blood glucose levels. Renal glucose titration analyses and HLA genotypes were performed in 5 unrelated affected families with a total of 25 patients and 40 healthy relatives. In each family the gene responsible for renal glycosuria segregates with the HLA complex suggesting a close genetic linkage. 2 cases carry intra-HLA recombinant haplotypes; in these subjects our findings indicate that the abnormal gene is closer to the HLA-A locus than the HLA-B locus. No HLA-A, HLA-B or HLA-C specific antigen is selectively increased among the 5 unrelated families affected with renal glycosuria.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the relationship between uric acid and blood glucose levels, focusing on how urinary glucose affects their excretion.
  • A total of 2498 hospitalized patients were recruited, with 1416 included in the final analysis, utilizing various statistical methods to evaluate differences based on gender.
  • The findings suggest that higher blood glucose levels, especially when glucosuria occurs, lead to increased uric acid excretion and decreased serum uric acid levels, with a stronger correlation observed in women compared to men.

Objective: To determine the frequency of suspected dysregulated renal tubular handling of filtered glucose, and its association with blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: The analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2022 to June 2023 at the Department of Medicine along with the Department of Pathology and Biochemistry, Pakistan Railway Hospital, Islamic International Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and comprised diabetics aged 19-80 years. Blood and urinary glucose were assessed at the point of contact.

Article Synopsis
  • Maturity-onset diabetes of the young 1 (MODY1) is linked to large birth size and temporary low blood sugar in newborns, with a specific genetic mutation leading to more severe complications like Fanconi syndrome (FS).
  • In a reported case, a patient was diagnosed with MODY1 due to abnormal kidney mitochondria found through electron microscopy before diabetes symptoms appeared, highlighting the complexity of the condition.
  • Genetic testing later confirmed a pathogenic variant in the HNF4A gene, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the development of both MODY1 and FS in this patient.
