Abstract

Familial renal glucosuria is a rare co-dominantly inherited benign phenotype characterized by the presence of glucose in the urine. It is caused by mutations in the SLC5A2 gene that encodes SGLT2, the Na(+)-glucose cotransporter responsible for the reabsorption of the bulk of glucose in the proximal tubule. We report a case of FRG displaying both severe glucosuria and renal hypouricaemia. We hypothesize that glucosuria can disrupt urate reabsorption in the proximal tubule, directly causing hyperuricosuria.
