- A. Renal disorder
- B. Diabetes insipidus
- C. Essential hypertension
- D. Pellagra

Hint
Glucose appears in urine when the filtered load exceeds tubular reabsorption; with a low blood glucose, ask which side of that balance must be abnormal.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
