Glyco urea Excess glucose in circulation of excess glucose Excess glucose in diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. Hope: Hypoglycemic state: Low blood glucose level Renal threshold glucose is exceeded, so that glucose is excreted in urine Even though blood glucose level is within normal limits Renal threshold: Renal threshold is the plasma concentration above which the kidneys can no longer reabsorb all the filtered glucose, leading to its excretion in urine. The renal threshold for glucose is approximately 180 mg/dL. 3. Glycosurea This occurs following a rich carbohydrate meal. Small intestine is overloaded with glucose absorption. Renal threshold is exceeded in post prandial period. Leads to glycosuria. This is seen in healthy individuals. 4) Glycosuria of Pregnancy Occurs due to decreased renal threshold in pregnancy. Glucose can be excreted in urine in cases of pregnant women. This is seen in cases of gestational diabetes. 6. Transient Glycosuria In occasions in some people consuming emotional stress can cause hypersecretion of catecholamines causes hyperglycemia & subsequent glycosuria. Once the stress is removed glycosuria also passes.
