Glycosuria is a condition that occurs when your urine contains more glucose or sugar than it should. Some of the main causes of glycosuria include kidney damage or high blood sugar levels. Glucose in urine is a symptom of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. When the blood contains too much...
A high specific gravity can indicate several things. It may suggest dehydration, as when the body is dehydrated, the kidneys reabsorb more water, concentrating the urine and increasing its specific gravity. Another possible cause could be the presence of a high concentration of solutes in the ...
post mortem degradation.Ketone bodiesare likely to remain in urine longer than 1day after death while concentrations over 0.5mg/dl (=5mg/l) of free acetone may indicate ketotic dysregulation. However,ketonuriadoes not prove ketonaemia as therenal clearancefor ketone bodies is rather high[1,2,...
If you’re at high risk for gestational diabetes (sometimes initially suspected after a high glucose level is detected in your urine during a previous prenatal visit), your healthcare provider may also consider certain aspects of your medical history. The provider may take into account your pre-...
Lastly, the Nrf2 activator, oltipraz, lowered blood glucose in wild-type, but not Nrf2-null mice, administered STZ. Collectively, these data indicate that the absence of Nrf2 worsens hyperglycemia in Type I diabetic mice and that Nrf2 may represent a therapeutic target for reducing ...
The sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) mainly carries out glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Familial renal glycosuria, which is a mutation of SGLT2, is known to excrete glucose in the urine, but blood glucose levels are almost normal. Therefore, SGLT2 inhibitors are attracting attention ...
The biosensor was applied for the determination of glucose in human blood and urine samples [128]. Later, another new amperometric glucose biosensor was constructed based on platinum nanoparticles/polymerized ionic liquid-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposites (PtNPs/PIL-CNTs). The CNT was ...
Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is a member of the heat shock protein 70 superfamily, which serves as an important regulator in many diseases. This study aims at elucidating the role of GRP78 in the BPH process. Human prostate tissues, cultured human prostate cell lines (BPH-1 and WP...
The casual (or random) plasma glucose test is another method of diagnosing diabetes. Your blood sugar is tested regardless of when you last ate. You are not required to avoid eating before the test. A glucose level greater than 200 mg/dL may indicate diabetes, especially if the test is re...
