Summary Introduction

To review:

The mechanisms that prevent glycosuria along with the condition where a person is having hyperglycemia without glycosuria.

Introduction:

Glycosuria is a condition where the glucose is excreted out in the urine. In a normal state, the urine does not contain glucose as the kidneys reabsorb the glucose from the tubular fluids into the bloodstream. The hyperglycemia is a condition when the glucose level in the blood is higher than the normal range.
