Glucose reabsorption

2.73 understand that selective re-absorption of glucose at the proximal convoluted tubule.

The same process for water, happens for glucose.
Except Urine does/should not contain glucose

If glucose is tested positive in Urine, this is a condition called Diabetes.


This is because in the proximal convoluted tubual, glucose is removed and is taken back into blood.
