Why sugar does not appear normally in urine?
The nephrons (filtering units in the kidney) actively reabsorb glucose from the urine. Up until a blood sugar of about 200, there should normally be no glucose found in the urine. Glucose in the urine (also called glycosuria), can be seen in diabetes and other conditions that cause an increased blood glucose. There are also some conditions that prevent the nephron from reabsorbing glucose filtered in the kidney.
Under what conditions does a person need to be on a drip of glucose?
Your question is a little vague. There are two kinds of glucose drip. (1) Patients that have had major surgery may not be capable of taking solid food for some time until they recover sufficiently to feed themselves. Therefore, the patient is given a 'glucose drip' via a tube which is inserted into a nostril - and goes directly into their stomach. The drip not only contains glucose - it also contains salts and minerals. It is intended as a 'short term fix' until the patient can feed themselves again. (2) Patients that have lost a lot of blood from an accident or major surgery - are given an intravenous drip which is intended to replace lost blood until the body can manufacture the lost blood itself.
How does a glucose drip help the patient recover?
'Drip of Glucose' can be referred either to Intravenous infusion of Dextrose (which is a biologically active form of Glucose) or to any Intravenous Fluid. Dextrose (along with a few substances) is the sole source of energy to the brain. IV Dextrose need to be given in diseases where the patient is unable to maintain a blood glucose level essential to sustain vital organ function. The rate of infusion is determined by 'hit and trial' method gradually hiking the rate till normal blood levels could e maintained. IV Fluids are given in conditions where a patient is unable to accept oral feeds/ is not allowed orally due to the disease process so as to provide him the necessary fluids, electrolytes and energy (glucose) to sustain life. IV Fluids are also needed to rehydrate a dehydrated patient.
What is the definition of orally transmitted materials?
Orally means by mouth. Orally transmitted means by speech, not by a written or electronic method. It could also refer to something transmitted by French kissing, as in an orally transmitted disease.
What factors of the patient should be examined when administrating parenteral nutrition?
The fluid balance, the glucose tolerance, the patient's weight, the electrolytes level in urine, and the patient's kidney and liver function should be examined when administrating parenteral nutrition. The venous access site should also be checked.

What are the uses of dextrose?

Which macromolecule is glucose associated with?
Glucose is actually a monosaccharide, which is the smallest unit of a carbohydrate. Glucose is also bound to fructose to create sucrose, which is a disaccharide (a larger carbohydrate). Finally, glucose is also a component of the polysaccharide starch, which is definitely a macromolecule.
