-
that's the number that leave in the urine.
-
That's not true for glucose.
-
I mentioned yesterday that glucose is not normally found in urine.
-
When you do find glucose in the urine of an individual
-
that indicates that there's some disease process going on
-
and that's because glucose is very efficiently reabsorbed
-
in the proximal tubule.
-
If I just looked at concentration within the filtrate,
-
within the urine through the proximal tubule,
-
there'd be a lot of glucose here and that concentration drops
-
as we move through the proximal tubule
-
such that there's no glucose in the filtrate
