Assertion: Renal threshold of glucose is...

Assertion: Renal threshold of glucose is said to be 180 mg/100 mL
Reason: Glucose starts appearing in the urine when its blood level exceeds 180 mg/100 mL of blood

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

if assertion is true but reason is false

D

if both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Renal threshold of a substance is its highest concentration in the blood upto which it is totally reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate. Renal threshold of glucose is about 180 mg/ 10 mL. Glucose is reabsorbed and does not appear in the urine as long as its blood level does not exceed 180 mg/ 100 mL.
