If the RTG is so low that even normal blood glucose levels produce the condition, it is referred to as renal glycosuria. Glucose in urine can be identified by Benedict's qualitative test. If yeast is present in the bladder, the sugar in the urine may begin to ferment, producing a rare condition known as urinary auto-brewery syndrome.
Renal glycosuria is a rare condition in which the simple sugar glucose is excreted in the urine [1] despite normal or low blood glucose levels. With normal kidney (renal) function, glucose is excreted in the urine only when there are abnormally elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
Renal glucose reabsorption is the part of kidney (renal) physiology that deals with the retrieval of filtered glucose, preventing it from disappearing from the body through the urine. If glucose is not reabsorbed by the kidney, it appears in the urine, in a condition known as glycosuria. This is associated with diabetes mellitus. [1]
Splay is usually used in reference to glucose; [1] other substances, such as phosphate, have virtually no splay at all. The splay in the glucose titration curve is likely a result of both anatomical and kinetic difference among nephrons. [7] A particular nephron's filtered load of glucose may be mismatched to its capacity to reabsorb glucose.
High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) cause excess glucose to spill over into the urine and result in a positive reading. This characteristically occurs in diabetes mellitus [ 73 ] (although it is not part of the formal diagnostic criteria). [ 74 ]

High glucose levels spill over into the urine, taking water and solutes (such as sodium and potassium) along with it in a process known as osmotic diuresis. [3] This leads to polyuria, dehydration, and polydipsia.
