THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycosuria is a term that defines the presence of reducing sugars in the urine, such as glucose, galactose, lactose, fructose, etc. Glucosuria connotes the presence of glucose in the urine and is the most frequent type of glycosuria and is the focus of this review.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Glucosuria normally occurs when the plasma glucose content is above 300 mg/dL, but some glucose may be seen in the urine at plasma glucose levels as low as 150 mg/dL because the glucose-handling capacity of individual nephrons widely varies.
