Why does glucose not appear in a healthy persons collecting duct?
Glucose is normally completely reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidney, so it should not appear in the collecting duct of a healthy person. If glucose is present in the collecting duct, it could be a sign of kidney dysfunction, such as in the case of diabetes mellitus where the kidneys are unable to reabsorb all the filtered glucose.
What malfunctioning organ causes glucose in urine?
The malfunctioning organ that causes glucose in urine is the kidneys. Normally, the kidneys filter glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, they may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its presence in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.
How does glucose get into urine?
Glucose is typically reabsorbed by the kidneys and does not appear in urine under normal circumstances. However, if blood glucose levels are too high (hyperglycemia), the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its presence in the urine (glucosuria). This can be a sign of conditions like diabetes.
Can kidneys function?
While not traditionally discussed, the kidneys’ contributions to maintaining glucose homeostasis are significant and include such functions as the release of glucose into the circulation via gluconeogenesis, uptake of glucose from the circulation to satisfy their energy needs, and reabsorption of glucose at the level of the proximal tubule.
What transports glucose away from the kidneys?
Glucose is typically transported away from the kidneys by being reabsorbed into the bloodstream through carrier proteins in the kidney tubules. The glucose then circulates in the blood to be used as an energy source by cells throughout the body.
Explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance.?
can you explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance?
Which organ and glands have a role in glucose homeostasis?
liver,kidneys and pancreas
What happens to glucose as it passes through the kidney?
Glucose is typically reabsorbed in the kidneys and returned to the bloodstream. If blood glucose levels are high, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its excretion in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.

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.
How can people keep there kidneys healthy?
By drinking a lot of water...
