Everything about Glycosuria totally explained
Glycosuria or
glucosuria is an abnormal condition of
osmotic diuresis due to excretion of
glucose by the kidneys.
The most common cause of glycosuria is untreated
diabetes mellitus. This disease raises
plasma glucose levels far above normal, and beyond a certain threshold, the excess glucose is excreted by the kidneys, taking water with it and producing diuresis. The threshold varies somewhat from one individual to another, with values around 8.9 - 10 mmol/l (160 - 180 mg/dl). As a reference, the
normal blood value of fasting glucose is around 3.9 - 5.8 mmol/l (70 - 105 mg/dl).
This point is called the renal threshold of glucose (RTG) . Some people, especially children and pregnant women, may have a low RTG (less than ~7 mmol/L
[ glucose in blood to have glucosuria).]
If the RTG is so low that even normal blood glucose levels produce the condition, it's referred to as renal glycosuria.Further Information
