The glucose along with a lot of other things are reabsorbed in the convolued tubules of the nephron so that it is not waisted by losing it in the urine.

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.
What is difference between blood sugar and urine sugar?
One is normal, one is not. Evolution has driven digestion to be a highly efficient process, meaning organisms don't usually excrete energy nutrients as waste. Glucose in the urine is usually an indication of diabetes.
What is normal white blood count urine?
0-5
Clinistix and albustix?
Clinistix is a commercially available product for testing for of glucose in urine. It turns purple if glucose is present. Albustix is a commercially available product for testing for the presence protein in urine.
What is the connection of osmosis with diabetes?
Diabetes is a word in the Latin language that means "increased urine output".The word mellitus is Latin for "honey". The two together are increased output of sugary urine. When blood sugar reaches a high enough concentration the kidneys excrete the excess, and the glucose shows up in the patients urine. Because of osmostic pressure, water follows the flow of glucose into the urine and much more urine than is normal is produced. Other by-products of diabetes also enter the urine such as; ketone bodies which are by-products of a diabetics inability to synthesis and store fats properly. As these enter the urine, water again follows. Because of a high urine output, there is less water in the blood. It is therefore important for a diabetic patient to maintain a good water balance.
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.
Glucose can be elevated in the blood of a diabetic person Relate this information to glucose in the urine and glucose carriers?
It is apparent that glucose levels are present in the blood system. It is also present in the urine, whereas it does not complete flush from blood and traces appear.
Why shoudn't there be any sugar in the urine leaving the normal kidney?
Because normal kidneys will absorb all the sugar from the urine, unless uncontrolled diabetes puts so much glucose in the blood that the kidneys can no longer absorb it all after producing urine.
Is there blood in normal urine?
No Normal urine should not include any traces of blood.
Is glucose a normal part of urine?
Yea you can have glucose in your pee. its just like sugar
How does glucose get into urine?
The kidneys filter out all unneeeded chemicals in the blood, such as glucose.
What can glucose tests detect?
increased blood glucose (hyperglycemia), decreased blood glucose (hypoglycemia), increased glucose in the urine (glycosuria), and decreased glucose in CSF, serous, and synovial fluid glucose.
Why urine doesn't normally contain glucose?
Glucose is too valuable to be lost in the urine, so it is selectively reabsorbed by active transport in the nephrons. There should be no glucose whatsoever in urine. Any trace of it is a possible sign of diabetes.

How is glycosuria related to diabetes mellitus?
When the blood glucose level goes above 180 mg per 100 ml, the sugar comes out in the urine. The normal blood glucose level is considered up to 140 mg per 100 ml, after the food intake. That means when the sugar come out in the urine is taken as diabetes.
Why is monitoring blood glucose levels more accurate that monitoring glucose levels in the urine?
The liver and pancreas release glucose right into the blood, therefore you will get a more accurate amount if you test your blood.
Which of the following substances is normally NOT found in urine?
If you are talking about three substances that are normally found in blood but not in urine, they are leukocytes, erythrocytes and glucose.
