glucose in the urine
A
dysuria
B
urinary meatus
C
glycosuria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucosuria connotes the presence of glucose in the urine and is the most frequent type of glycosuria and is the focus of this review. It happens when the glomerulus filters more glucose than the proximal tubule can reabsorb. In normal individuals, glucosuria can be up to 0.25 mg/ml.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, urine contains very little or no glucose. But if you have too much glucose in your blood, your kidneys will get rid of some of the extra glucose through your urine. So, a high level of urine glucose may mean that your blood glucose is high, too, and that could be a sign of diabetes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The presence of glucose in the urine is called glycosuria or glucosuria. Glucose level can also be measured in other bodily fluids using a blood test or a cerebrospinal fluid test.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycosuria happens when you pass blood sugar (blood glucose) into your urine. Normally, your kidneys absorb blood sugar back into your blood vessels from any liquid that passes through them. With glycosuria, your kidneys may not take enough blood sugar out of your urine before it passes out of your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -High blood sugar, the primary cause of glucose in urine, indicates potentially serious conditions. Since sugar in urine indicates conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and hereditary abnormalities, sugar in urine demands immediate and urgent medical attention.
