Solution
Glycosuria is a condition characterized by an excess of sugar in the urine, typically associated with diabetes or kidney disease. Normally, during ultrafiltration by the kidneys, blood sugar is taken back by the body from the filtrate passing through the nephron. With glycosuria, the kidneys may not take enough blood sugar out of the urine before it passes out of the body. Hence, the amount of glucose level increases in urine. This may happen because a person with diabetes has an abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. Sometimes, glycosuria may also develop due to the kidney malfunctioning. In these situations, it’s known as renal glycosuria.
