PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to their important role in gluconeogenesis, the kidneys contribute to glucose homeostasis by filtering and reabsorbing glucose. Under normal conditions, the kidneys retrieve as much glucose as possible, rendering the urine virtually glucose free.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kidney plays an important role in glucose homeostasis, both in the post-absorptive and postprandial period. Kidney produces glucose by gluconeogenesis in the renal cortex and uses glucose for covering energy needs of the medulla.
