Urine Sugar (Random)

This test measures the presence of glucose in your urine. Elevated glucose levels can point to hyperglycemia or potential genetic issues affecting kidney glucose reabsorption. Monitoring urine sugar helps detect and manage diabetes or other health conditions related to abnormal blood glucose.

This test is done to:

• Diagnose diabetes by detecting high blood sugar levels
• Assess how well current diabetes treatments are working
• Identify genetic defects related to kidney glucose reabsorption
• Monitor and manage other conditions linked to abnormal blood glucose levels

Doctors recommend this test if you:

• Show symptoms of diabetes like increased thirst or frequent urination
• Have a family history of diabetes
• Need monitoring for existing diabetes management
• Are at risk due to genetic factors affecting glucose reabsorption

• Normal range: Absence of glucose in urine
• Abnormal results could indicate diabetes, kidney issues, or genetic defects affecting glucose reabsorption

Consult your doctor for further evaluation and interpretation of your test results.

During this test:

• You will provide a spot urine sample in a sterile container.
• The lab uses urine chemistry methods to measure glucose levels.
• Results are typically available after 4 hours from sample submission.

• Ensure proper labelling on your specimen container.
• Avoid excessive fluid intake before sample collection if not instructed otherwise.
• Follow any specific instructions provided by your doctor.

• HbA1c Testing: It measures average blood sugar levels over three months.
• Fasting Blood Glucose Test: It assesses blood sugar levels after fasting overnight.
• Renal Function Tests: It evaluates kidney health through blood and urine samples.

Random Blood Sugar Test or Glucosuria Test

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterised by high blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective use of insulin by the body's cells. It can lead to serious health complications if not managed properly.
