Glycosuria
- Glycosuria is the presence of detectable glucose in urine.
- This happens when blood glucose levels exceed the kidney's ability to reabsorb glucose.
- Glucose can appear in urine without always having high blood sugar.
- Factors like glomerular blood flow, tubular reabsorption, and urine flow influence glycosuria.
- Glycosuria is usually seen when blood glucose is above 180-200 mg/dL if hyperglycemia is present.
