CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Glucose is the main source of energy for the human body. Glucose is converted either into glycogen or into triglycerides to be stored. Glucose blood level is mainly regulated by two antagonist hormones: insulin and glucagon.
Glycemia disorders appear mostly in type I or type II diabetes as well as in gestational diabetes. They can be also associated to various endocrinal, pancreatic or hepatic disorders, or linked to drugs.
In normal health condition, glucose is filtered then reab- sorbed by kidneys and is therefore not present in urine. Elevated concentrations in urine are observed when the blood concentration is high or in case of impaired tubular reabsorption.
Glucose measurement in blood is indicated for diabetes, in screening, diagnosis or follow-up of patients. It is also indicated to monitor patients with symptoms of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia
