How are enzymes used to diagnose diabetes?
No enzyme is used to diagnose diabetes .People with diabetes have sugar in their urine. There is a test strip indicator which contains chemical indicators , if glucose is found in the urine the indicator changes color.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
Why sugar and ketone bodies are abnormal constituent of urine?
Sugar or glucose, is an abnormal constituent in urine because the body seeks to filter and reabsorb any molecules that are beneficial to life. In normal concentrations in the blood, glucose is reabsorbed efficiently by the renal tubules and there won't be a measurable amount in the urine. Glucose in the urine or glucosuria, is due to the renal tubule's inability to reabsorb glucose. This may be because the tubules are damaged, or there is so much excess glucose in the blood that it "spills over" into the urine. When ketones are in the urine, they signify that the body has stopped using glucose as an energy source and has started to tap its fat reserves. This can happen in starvation, metabolic disease, or diabetic ketoacidosis. Anytime that glucose and ketones are present in the urine, it is an indicator that the patient is suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis. There body does not have enough insulin to allow cells to utilize the glucose in the blood and the body has started to tap its fat reserves to provide the necessary power. This is a very dangerous situation and you should be seen by a physician immediately.
What is the normal glucose level in human urine sample?
I'm just wondering the normal count for glucose at my age. I'm a 50 year old woman
How do you prove there is glucose in a sample?
You can prove there is glucose in a sample by using Benedict's Solution. Heat up the sample, and add the Benedict's Solution. Assuming the solution is clear, if glucose is present it will change colour to red, or yellow, or green. If not, it will stay clear.

Why do you have to give a urine sample when seeing your obgyn or pregnancy DR?
Urine shows levels of pregnancy hormones and also whether a woman is spilling glucose into the urine and if she has a urinary tract infection.
Will urine still be tested if the temperature isn't right?
If temperature is being used to verify that the urine came from the correct person the temperature of the sample is an indicator that the urine is/may not be a fresh/valid sample...if the temperature is lower than expected.
Is there any way to test your blood sugar other than taking a blood sample?
Yes, you can test your blood sugar through a urine sample. The sample is checked with a colored dipstick that measures the presence of glucose in the urine. The blood sugar test with the blood sample is more accurate and more conventional.
What is the role of the indicator?
indicator help us find out find out which molecules diffused and which didn't.... for example: starch indicator indicate starch......and.......glucose indicator indicate glucose.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What is the role of an indicator in the titration process?
indicator help us find out which molecules diffused and which didn't for ex: starch indicator indicate starch and glucose indicator indicate glucose.
What causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
Why is there no glucose in urine?
All of the glucose are reabsorbed from the Proximal convoluted tubule into the surrounding capillaries,so there is no no glucose in urine.
How is a strep infection diagnosed from a urine sample?
Strep infection is not diagnosed from a urine sample.
What explains the presence of the glucose in the urine?
Protein does occur naturally in the urine of humans. This is normally no more than 150mg per day. I am assuming you mean >150mg of protein per day. If someone has more than 150mg of protein in their urine per day it can mean several things: it can be a result of an infection, diabetes, kidney disease, medication side effect, and many, many more.
