Abstract
The study of a patient with hypophosphatemic rickets, hyperglycinuria, glycosuria, and glycyl-prolinuria by Dr. Charles R. Scriver and co-workers (Pediatrics, 34:357) was of great interest to me. However, I must take issue with certain interpretations of data presented by these authors. It is stated, "The fecal excretion of phosphorus was slightly more than the urinary excretion. On the assumption that fecal phosphorus has the relation: 0.5 X fecal calcium/calcium intake X phosphorus intake, the fecal phosphorus was an appropriate amount.
