ResumoThree dogs with spontaneous renal tubular defects similar to idiopathic Fanconi syndrome are characterized. Renal clearance studies revealed a fractional reabsorption of glucose ranging from 31% to 82%. Abnormal glucose thulium values were present in all dogs. A generalized aminoaciduria occurred in two dogs while one had aminoaciduria characteristic of canine cystinuria. Fractional reabsorption of phosphate ranged from 47% to 79%. In vitro uptake of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside was significantly depressed (p less than 0.001). In vitro uptake of amino isobutyric acid was similar to controls. Renal biopsy revealed nonspecific interstitial change in two dogs and normal histology in the other. These animals represent a useful new model for the study of renal tubular transport defects.
