Presence of which of the following conditions in urine are indicative of Diabetes mellitus?
Options
- AUremia and Renal Calculi
- BKetonuria and Glycosuria
- CRenal calculi and Hyperglycaemia
- DUremia and Ketonuria
Correct answer
B. Ketonuria and Glycosuria
Step-by-step solution
Diabetes mellitus: It is caused due to insulin deficiency or hyperfunctioning of beta cells of Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Urine is sweet to taste (glycosuria) due to the presence of sugar. Due to the presence of sugar, there is a failure in normal osmotic reabsorption of water by kidney tubules. Due to the breakdown of lipids, ketone bodies in the body fluids increase and as a result release out through urine (ketonuria).
