Hello, Your video is very helpful but I am just confused on point you made. towards the end of your video at 7:33 you stated that that is renal threshold is exceeded it will spill into urine leading to glycosuria but the threshold breaks at 180 mg/dl when it first appears. so wouldnt the dx of glycosuria be dependent on if the transport max is exceeded at 375mg/min. Im asking bc given some charts Ive seen the body is able to reabsorb everything below 375 regardless of renal threshold as long as it doesnt surpass the transport max
That’s a great question. I don’t think so. Once your blood sugar gets high and stays high like it does in diabetes, renal threshold is exceded and glucose spills into the urine.
U explained the renal threshold very well! Thanks
This helped a lot! Thanks
I’m so glad! Renal physiology is definitely a challenging subject! 🙈

Would it be possible to be diabetic without glucoseuria ( sugar in the urine)?
That’s a great question. I don’t think so. Once your blood sugar gets high and stays high like it does in diabetes, renal threshold is exceded and glucose spills into the urine.
That would probably mean a person with diabetes would take fasting glucose he might approach a lower limit but never reach it.
You’re so cute !!💕💕
