renal glucose reabsorption









































renal glucose reabsorption is the part of kidney (renal) physiology that deals with the retrieval of filtered glucose, preventing it from disappearing from the body through the urine.









































if glucose is not reabsorbed by the kidney, it appears in the urine, in a condition known as glycosuria. this is associated with diabetes mellitus.









































firstly, the glucose in the proximal tubule is co-transported with sodium ions into the proximal convoluted tubule walls via the sglt2 cotransporter. some (typically smaller) amino acids are also transported in this way.
renal glucose reabsorption
sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters (or sodium-glucose linked transporter, sglt) are a family of glucose transporter found in the intestinal mucosa (enterocytes) of the small intestine (sglt1) and the proximal tubule of the nephron (sglt2 in pct and sglt1 in pst). they contribute to renal glucose reabsorption. in the kidneys, 100% of the filtered glucose in the glomerulus has to be reabsorbed along the nephron (98% in pct, via sglt2). if the plasma glucose concentration is too high (hyperglycemia), glucose is excreted in urine (glucosuria) because sglt are saturated with the filtered glucose. glucose is never secreted by a healthy nephron.
