Which of the following best explains the process of osmotic diuresis associated with hyperglycemia?
A) Glucose in the urine lowers osmotic pressure inside the kidney tubule, preventing water reabsorption.
B) Glucose in the urine raises osmotic pressure inside the kidney tubule, drawing water into the tubule.
C) Decreased insulin levels result in decreased ADH secretion.
D) Elevated blood glucose levels result in increased ADH secretion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperglycemia leads to an increase in glucose concentration in the filtrate within the renal tubules. This increase in solute concentration raises the osmotic pressure within the tubule, causing water to be drawn out of the blood vessels and into the tubule, resulting in increased urine output. This is known as osmotic diuresis.
