Some aunt made a remark to me that sugar in urine is not sugar, but glucose.
Aunt is wrong. When glucose in urine is determined, in fact, different sugars fall under the hot hand in this analysis. There may even be regular sugar.
A lot of blood gets into urine. In a healthy person, about 180 grams of glucose is poured into urine every day. True, then the kidneys wake up and almost all the glucose is sucked back.
If the glucose reabsorption mechanism did not work, then the person would lose weight very quickly. Well, I would also be dehydrated. Because glucose draws a lot of water with it.
Fructose
It appears in the urine after eating large amounts of sugar. It is usually found in urine along with sucrose.
Sucrose
This is the usual table sugar that we pour into our tea. If you put it in 200 grams of tea, then it will even appear in the urine. It turns out that if you can find sucrose and fructose in the urine, then the person most likely overeats sweet.
Lactose
This is milk sugar. It can normally be found in the urine of pregnant and lactating women. They need a lot of lactose for their baby, so their lactose is overflowing.
And some people are also intolerant to milk sugar. It is not digested by them, it gets stuck in the intestinal wall and from there it is absorbed alive into the bloodstream and excreted in the urine.
It turns out that a lot of things can stick together from excess sugar. Now there are even drugs that interfere with our famous renal glucose reabsorption process. Then glucose flows into the bladder like a river. It is useful for type 2 diabetes. The person is losing weight, the level of glucose in the blood drops, all the cases. And from this medicine different places literally stick together.
If you accidentally find sugar in your urine, be sure to tell your doctor about it.
