A. Eats more sugar
B. Excretes sugar in urine
C. Sugar is excreted in faeces
D. Has low sugar level in blood

Answer 1

Biochemical examination of urine may help in the diagnosis of many disorders. Significant fluctuations in urine biochemical properties like ketonuria, alkaptonuria, phenylketonuria, glycosuria etc. are indicative of various disorders like diabetes and some genetic defects. So we can say that complications associated with the kidney can also be diagnosed through urine examination.

Complete answer:
Let us understand each of the options provided in light of the clinical conditions associated.
Option: A - Eating more sugar can lead to glycosuria but is not defined as glycosuria.
Thus, option A is not correct.
Option: B - Excretion of more sugar in urine is defined as glycosuria. This is an indication of either diabetic conditions or kidney dysfunction.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Option: C - When sugar is excreted in stool, it is more often due to diabetic condition and is no way related with glycosuria.
Thus, option-C is not correct.
Option: D - A low blood sugar level is defined as hypoglycemia and it is not associated with glycosuria in any way.
Thus, Option-D is not correct.

Therefore, Option B Excretes sugar in urine is the correct answer.

Note:
Glycosuria is a situation wherein a person’s urine incorporates extra sugar, or glucose, then it should. It usually happens because of excessive blood sugar tiers or kidney damage. Glycosuria is a common symptom of each kind one diabetes and sort two diabetes. Renal glycosuria happens while a person’s kidneys are damaged.
