🧪 What is Urine Sugar (Postprandial)?
The Urine Sugar (PP) test detects the presence of glucose in urine collected after a meal or glucose intake. It helps assess how well the body manages blood glucose levels following food intake.
❓ Why is the Test Done?
To:
- Screen for impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus
- Monitor blood sugar control in known diabetic patients
- Evaluate renal threshold for glucose excretion post-meal
- Detect transient hyperglycemia after meals
📊 Normal Range / Interpretation
Result | Interpretation |
|---|---|
Negative | No glucose detected; normal glucose control |
Positive | Glucose present; suggests hyperglycemia or poor glycemic control |
📈 Interpretation of Results
