Increased glucose entering the kidney tubules associated with diabetes will tend to
Select one:
a. result in production of low volume,highly concentrated urine
b. result in production of low volume urine with glucosuria
c. result in production of high volume urine with glucosuria
d. result in production of high volume urine containing excessive crystals
Answer: The correct answer is option C, i.e., results in production of high volume of urine with glucosuria.
Diabetes is the diseases in which glucose levels rise in the blood abnormally high which results in passage of glucose in filtrate through kidneys and glucose is excreted in urine. This is known as glucosuria. Due to glucosuria, osmotic concentration of filtrate/urine changes (increases) and it results in passive flow of water towards high glucose concentration in urine which leads to increase in volume of urine which is known as polyuria where increased volume of urine than usual is excreted out. So, increased glucose entering the kidney tubules associated with diabetes will tend to polyuria and glucosuria, i.e., increased production of urine with glucose in it.
