Glucose in urine

When abnormal values of glucose are found during a urine test, further investigation is required to ascertain your true health status. Using a urine test is a quick and inexpensive way to check for glucose in your urine, and is one of our test kit products that can be done in the privacy of your home.

Normal glucose range in urine

• 0 - 0.8 mmol/l (0 - 15 mg/dl)

Measuring range

• 0 - 111.1 mmol/l (0 - 2000 mg/dl)

Glucose levels in urine

• When the glucose level exceeds the renal threshold of 10 - 12 mmol/l, glucose is excreted in the urine

Abnormal glucose values may indicative of

• Renal Glycosuria

• Diabetes Mellitus

• Renal glycosuria during pregnancy

• After excessive consumption of carbohydrates

Further action required if glucose is found in urine

• check blood glucose levels

• urine for ketones

Our glucose urine test strip

• A double sequential enzymatic reaction, involving glucose oxidase and peroxidase in the presence of an indicator is responsible for the color change.

• Sensitivity may decrease with urine of high specific gravity (>1,030) and with ascorbic acid concentrations bigger or equal than 2,5 mmol/l.

• Sensitivity: 2,0 mmol/l glucose

• Active agent: Glucose oxidase (100 U/ml); peroxidase (100 U/ml)
