Abstract
In 1876 Zumier1and Czapek2each reported the occurrence of fructose in the urine of a nondiabetic patient. Though it is clear that in both cases fructose was present in the urine, there are insufficient data in the reports of these authors to warrant the conclusion that they were dealing with instances of the syndrome of essential fructosuria. Since 1876 there have appeared some thirty-seven reports describing 55 cases of essential fructosuria (table 1). Of these, sixteen do not give sufficient data to confirm the diagnosis. Though several of the more recent reports contain some experimental results, there has as yet been none which substantiates an explanation of the mechanism of essential fructosuria. This paper reports the cases of 2 brothers with essential fructosuria, together with some experimental results leading toward a possible explanation of the mechanism of this condition.
