or '''glucosuria''' is a condition of
Osmotic Diuresis typical in those suffering from
Diabetes Mellitus . It leads to excretion of
Glucose in the
Urine . Due to a lack of the hormone
Insulin ,
Plasma glucose levels are above normal. This leads to
Saturation of
Receptor s in the
Kidney s.
, also known as '''renal glucosuria''', is a rare condition in which the simple
Sugar glucose is excreted in the urine despite normal or low blood glucose levels. With normal kidney (renal) function, glucose is excreted in the urine only when there are abnormally elevated levels of glucose in the blood. However, in those with renal glycosuria, glucose is abnormally eliminated in the urine due to improper functioning of the renal tubules, which are primary components of
Nephron s, the
Filter ing units of the kidneys.
In most affected individuals, the condition causes no apparent
Symptom s (asymptomatic) or serious effects. When renal glycosuria occurs as an isolated finding with otherwise normal kidney function, the condition is thought to be inherited as an autosomal
Recessive Trait .
