Your doctor advises what sugar in your urine may mean
Madam, the presence of glucose in the urine in the majority of cases it results from diabetes. High blood glucoseexceeding the renal threshold causes glucose to be present in the urine. In such a situation, I suggest that you additionally check the glucose concentration in the venous blood and visit your family doctor with the results. Another cause the presence of glucose in the blood is pregnancy. In its course, glucosuria is considered a physiological process that does not require further diagnostics. Glucose in your urine generally occurs in late pregnancy, although it won’t hurt if you get a pregnancy test.
Do you suspect diabetes? You can find the appropriate diagnostic test package at Medonet Market.
In addition to the above-mentioned reasons, damage to the kidneys, in particular damage to the renal tubules, for example in the course of Fanconi syndrome, may also be responsible for the presence of glucose in the urine. Glucosuria (glucosuria) does not require treatment. Treat the underlying disease causing this symptom. It is worth remembering that glucose in the urine can be a breeding ground for bacteria, which increases the risk of developing a urinary tract infection.
As mentioned above, please do a blood glucose test and see your GP. If necessary, your doctor will order further diagnosis for diabetes or kidney disease.
