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
What are Nine types of urine specimens that can be collected?
Random urine sample First morning urine sample Midstream clean-catch urine sample 24-hour urine collection Timed urine sample Postprandial urine sample Suprapubic aspiration specimen Catheterized urine specimen Pediatric urine bag specimen
What chemical detects glucose?
A chemical called glucose oxidase is commonly used to detect glucose. This enzyme reacts with glucose in the presence of oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The level of hydrogen peroxide produced is then typically measured as an indicator of the glucose concentration in a sample.
How do clinistix work?
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
As the number of glucose carriers increase, the concentration of glucose in the urine will decrease. This is because more glucose is being reabsorbed by the kidneys back into the bloodstream, reducing the amount of glucose that gets excreted in the urine.
How do you test for urine glucose?
Urine glucose can be tested using a urine dipstick test. This involves dipping a test strip into a urine sample and checking the color change that indicates the presence of glucose. However, it is important to note that a urine dipstick test is not as accurate as blood tests for measuring glucose levels.

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.

How is glucose found in urine?
Normally your body will hold on to most things that it can use and will remove those that it doesn't. If you are not making enough insulin, glucose will be found in the urine. Insulin is needed to carry the glucose molecule into the cell and if it isn't doing this, the glucose will "spill over" into the urine. Testing will give the doctor an idea if you are making insulin and perhaps you might need to take it.
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 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.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
As the number of glucose carriers increase, the concentration of glucose in the urine will decrease. This is because more glucose is being reabsorbed by the kidneys back into the bloodstream, reducing the amount of glucose that gets excreted in the urine.
What causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
