Glucosuria Reflex

Reflex glucosuria

Reflex glucosuria (g. reflectoria; synonym: g. nervous, g. central) - the release of glucose in the urine due to dysregulation of carbohydrate metabolism in the central nervous system. The causes of reflex glucosuria can be damage to the brain and spinal cord (trauma, tumors, inflammatory diseases), as well as strong emotional experiences. The mechanism of development is a disruption of the nervous regulation of the function of the pancreas and liver, resulting in hyperglycemia and the appearance of glucose in the urine. Diagnosis is based on the detection of glucosuria against the background of normal or elevated blood glucose levels in the absence of kidney and endocrine diseases, as well as identifying the source of damage to the nervous system. Treatment consists of eliminating the cause that caused reflex glycosuria.

**Reflex glucosuria** are disorders that occur in the functioning of the genitourinary system and can occur with various diseases, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia, etc. They are characterized by the appearance of glucose in the urine, which can be caused by various reasons.

Causes of reflex glycosuria In general, reflex glycosuria is associated with metabolic disorders in the body and can occur in a number of diseases. Glucose (sugar) is the main source of energy for the cells and tissues of the body. If cells do not receive enough sugar, they begin to use glucose, which accumulates in the blood. As a result, blood sugar levels increase, which leads to glucosuria - the appearance of glucose in the urine.

Reflex glycosuria can be caused by the following reasons:

* **Diabetes mellitus** is a disease that reduces the body's ability to absorb sugar from food. In diabetes, glucose in the blood is not absorbed by cells and begins to accumulate, which leads to an increase in blood glucose levels and the appearance of glucose in the urine (glucosuria).
