Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In healthy adult humans, the maximum renal glucose reabsorption capacity (transport maximum glucose reabsorption [TmG]) is ≈375 mg/min, slightly higher in men than in women.13, 15, 16 In normal individuals, the rate at which glucose is filtered (ie, 180 g/d equal to 125 mg/min) is significantly lower than TmG.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normally each day, ∼180 g of glucose is filtered by the kidneys; almost all of this is reabsorbed by means of sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), expressed in the proximal tubules.
