ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Small amounts of protein in the urine may be an early sign of kidney damage due to diabetes. Such small amounts may not be detected by dipstick . In these cases, urine will need to be collected over a period of 12 or 24 hours and tested by a laboratory.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a sign that your body is struggling to keep your blood sugar levels under control by trying to get rid of the sugar in your urine. If your diabetes is well controlled, you should not have sugar in your urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary cause of renal glycosuria is a harmful change (mutation) in a gene known as “SLC5A2” (also called the renal sodium-glucose cotransporter gene). Many inheritance patterns have been reported for renal glycosuria, and more research is needed to clarify the pattern of inheritance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renal glycosuria is a much rarer form of glycosuria. This happens when your kidney’s renal tubules-the parts of the kidneys that act as filters in your urinary system-don’t filter blood sugar out of your urine properly. This condition is often caused by a mutation in a specific gene.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycosuria in Diabetes Diabetes causes glycosuria because there either isn’t enough insulin, or your body can’t use what’s available. WIthout insulin, blood glucose levels become too high, and your kidneys can’t filter and reabsorb it. Your body gets rid of the excess through your urine.
