  • Title: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and glycosuria.
    Author: Milavetz JJ, Popovtzer MM.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1992 May; 152(5):1081-3. PubMed ID: 1316108.
    Abstract:
    Renal glycosuria associated with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors has been previously reported in two patients. A third patient was studied who developed isolated glycosuria associated with lisinopril therapy. As in the two previously described patients, this patient had a normal serum glucose level, underlying hypertension, and onset of glycosuria between 2 and 16 weeks after initiation of therapy with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. The patient had renal artery stenosis with elevated renin levels. Age, time until resolution of glycosuria, and a rise in serum creatinine level did not have a consistent relationship with glycosuria associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy. Since glycosuria was the only defect noted, without evidence of any other urinary solutes, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors may exert an effect on the glucose-specific proximal tubule transport system.
