25. Renal Regulation
Tubular Maximum
260-350mg/min/1.73m2
Renal Threshold
160-180mg/dl
Glycosuria
90% of filtered glucose is reabsorbed in PCT,
Remaining in LH & CD.
When filtered glucose load exceeds
the capacity of renal tubular reabsorption
When renal threshold for glucose is
reduced
27. Renal Glycosuria
Blood glucose level is normal
Defect in reabsorptive ability of renal tubule
Causes :
Physiological
High glucose intake
Pregnancy
Stress
Anxiety
Emotion
Pathological
Diabetes
Galactosemia
Heavy metal poisoning
Cystinosis
Fanconi’s syndrome

29. Causes of Glycosuria
Glycosuria without hyperglycaemia:
Renal tubular dysfunction,
Inborn Error of CHO metabolism
Glycosuria with hyperglycaemia :
Diabetes, Acromegaly,
Cushing’s disease, Hyperthyroidism,
Ill-effect of corticosteroid drugs
30. Blood Glucose – Clinical Aspects
Estimation
• Various Chemical methods available
• Glucometer
Common terms
• Fasting blood glucose
• Post prandial glucose
• Random glucose
• Glucose tolerance
Interpretation
• Increased level – HYPERGLYCAEMIA
• Decreased level - HYPOGLYCAEMIA
31. Fasting
Blood Glucose
Blood glucose estimated after Eight
hours of Fasting
Post Prandial
Blood Glucose
Blood glucose estimated after about
2 hrs of proper meal
Random
Blood Glucose
Blood glucose estimated at any time of
the day without concerning last meal
Glucose
Tolerance Test
Estimation of glucose on 1 fasting and
minimum 2 samples after 50-75gm oral
glucose
