Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Under normal circumstances, which substance should NOT be found in urine?
A
glucose
B
urea
C
water
D
salt
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Usually, glucose, ketones, protein, and bilirubin are not detectable in urine. The following are not normally found in urine: Hemoglobin. Nitrites.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the glomerular filtrate comes in the proximal convoluted tubule, reabsorption of glucose and amino acids takes place through active transport. So, there is no glucose found in the urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is an aqueous solution of greater than 95% water. Other constituents include urea, chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine and other dissolved ions, and inorganic and organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-4: -6.3. 3.3 Postanalytical issues. Reference intervals for urine glucose should have very low upper limits of normal as glucose is not normally present in urine. Urine glucose in 24 h collections should be calculated appropriately by multiplying glucose concentration in the sample by the total volume of urine collected.

Detailed explanation-5: -Urine contains no glucose or amino acids because the kidneys are able to reabsorb the filtered glucose from the tubular fluid back into the bloodstream.
