Abstract
Excretion of fermentable sugar exceeding that observed in the normal control subjects was found to be frequent in all types of the disease. In the degenerative and advanced hemorrhagic types it occurred in all cases examined. In half the degenerative cases it amounted to gross glycosuria, the urine containing more than 0.3% of fermentable sugar during fasting and more than 1.0% after glucose ingestion. The blood sugar values observed before and after glucose ingestion indicated that in all cases observed the glycosuria was renal rather than diabetic.
