It is somewhat related to the basal metabolic rate; the higher the rate, the greater is the incidence. This probably accounts for the fact that glycosuria is met with more frequently in exophthalmic goitre than in so-called "secondary" hyperthyroidism associated with adenomata. The relationship between basal metabolism and glycosuria will, again, be referred to, as the above statement requires modification....References1 FITZ R: Arch. Int. Med., vol. 27, p. 305, 1921.
