RESUMO
Renal glycosuria (RG) is an inherited disorder due to defective reabsorption of glucose by the proximal renal tubular.It is attributed to the mutations in the SCL5A2 gene,encoding the sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2).A defect of SGLT2 is responsible for impaired reabsorption of the filtered glucose in the proximal renal tubular,termed S1,which leads to glycosuria.RG is characterized by normal fasting serum glucose concentration and persistent isolated glucosuria,identification of glucose as the urinary sugar.The inherited pattern of RG is co-dominant inheritance trait with incomplete penetrance.The diagnostic criteria of glycosurias are as follows:a constant and relatively stable urinary glycosurias (10-100 g/d),identification of glucose as the urinary sugar,normal concentration of fasting plasma glucose and normal oral glucose tolerance test,evidence that individuals have normal carbohydrates intake,storage and metabolism.RG does not require special treatment generally,but the advice concerns diet with increasing the intake of carbohydrates.Physical activity should be moderate and professional,and excesive muscle and exercise should be not advisable.
