Question

Which one of the following statements is false?

• A. presence of albumin in urine is albuminuria
• B. presence of glucose in urine is glycosuria
• C. presence of ketose sugar in urine is ketonuria
• D. presence of excess urea in blood is uremia

Answer 1

The correct option is D presence of excess urea in blood is uremia

Uremia (uremic syndrome) is a serious complication of chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury (also known as acute renal failure). It occurs when urea and other waste products build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them. It can be defined as an excess of amino acid and protein metabolism end products, such as urea and creatinine, in the blood that would be normally excreted in the urine.
