Presence of which of the following conditions in urine are indicative of diabetes mellitus ?
- AUremia and Nephritis
- BUremia and Renal Calculi
- Correct answerCKetonuria and Glycosuria
- DKetonuria and Uremia
Solution
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin production or action.
When blood glucose levels exceed the renal threshold, glucose is excreted in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.
Due to the inability of cells to utilize glucose for energy, the body begins to break down fats, leading to the accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood and their subsequent excretion in the urine, a condition known as ketonuria.
Therefore, the presence of both ketonuria and glycosuria in urine are indicative of diabetes mellitus.
Answer: Ketonuria and Glycosuria
When blood glucose levels exceed the renal threshold, glucose is excreted in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.
Due to the inability of cells to utilize glucose for energy, the body begins to break down fats, leading to the accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood and their subsequent excretion in the urine, a condition known as ketonuria.
Therefore, the presence of both ketonuria and glycosuria in urine are indicative of diabetes mellitus.
Answer: Ketonuria and Glycosuria
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
