Know your Urine Glucose. Know your health.
Test your Urine Glucose and 100+ other biomarkers in a single blood draw.
Glucose is not normally present in urine. The kidneys filter glucose from the blood and then reabsorb essentially all of it, so a negative result is expected. Glucose spills into the urine when blood sugar rises above the kidney's reabsorption threshold (around 180 mg/dL), which most often points to diabetes or poorly controlled blood sugar. Less commonly, a low kidney threshold (renal glycosuria) or pregnancy can cause glucose in the urine despite normal blood sugar. A positive result is usually followed up with blood glucose and HbA1c testing.
Urine Glucose comes in a routine urinalysis (about $40–$50), or $190 with Urine pH, Urine Protein, and 100+ other biomarkers at Empirical Health.
