Glucose - Random Urine near me in Greater Noida

Glucose in urine, a condition known as glucosuria, often signals that blood glucose levels are elevated beyond the kidney’s reabsorption capacity. Normally, glucose is filtered by the kidneys and reabsorbed into the bloodstream, so its presence in urine can indicate uncontrolled diabetes or other metabolic disorders. The Glucose - Random Urine test is particularly useful for monitoring blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes and can also help in diagnosing potential issues with blood sugar regulation.Additionally, this test can also detect glucose in urine, which may occur not only due to diabetes but also as a side-effect of certain anti-diabetic medications. 

Your doctor might recommend the Glucose - Random Urine test if you exhibit symptoms of diabetes such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, blurred vision, increased hunger, or unexplained weight loss. It is also recommended for individuals at higher risk of diabetes, including those with a family history of the condition, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. Additionally, it can be used to monitor individuals with known diabetes or to screen for glucose intolerance during routine health evaluations.

The sample for Glucose - Random Urine can be collected at any random time of the day.
