GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -High glucose levels in urine can be caused by medical conditions, a genetic mutation, certain medications, and pregnancy. Keep in mind that some people with high sugar levels in their urine don’t show any symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Having sugar in your urine is usually a sign of very high blood sugar levels. The extra sugar in the bloodstream is usually only removed via the kidneys at blood sugar concentrations of about 10 mmol/l (180 mg/dl) and above.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although not as accurate as a blood glucose test, urine testing can be used as a screening tool in patients known to have diabetes. Even in patients with no ketoacidosis, high glucose levels may be an indication that their diabetes is poorly controlled.

Detailed explanation-5: -Urine glucose tests are not as accurate as blood glucose tests. Many things can cause false positives or false negatives. For instance, the test actually reflects what your blood glucose level was a few hours earlier, so it might not be very accurate.
