Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Saint Thomas's Hospital Reports, Vol. 12: New Series
And the writers after Prout have all recognised the existence of a glycosuria occurring in the aged, the dyspeptic, and the gouty, which is not associated with any noticeable excess of urine, which is not attended with the general symptoms of typical diabetes, and which may go on for years without deeply affecting the health of the patient. Dr. Dickinson uses the term hepatic glycosuria for a part of the members of this group, and Dr. Lauder Brunton the term gouty glycosuria for another.
The remarks which I have to make will be in illustration of this non-diabetic form of glycosuria.
Besides the case I have related, I find in my note-book records of twenty-two cases of glycosuria occurring in persons aged fifty years and upwards, of glycosuria not accompanied by any marked diuresis, but nevertheless persistent in some degree under all forms of treatment. The list therefore excludes the mention of the temporary glycosuria which may be observed in persons of all ages under the in?uence of certain passing provocations.
