Glycosuria refers to a condition in which there is too much sugar secreted in urine. Renal glycosuria is a rare inherited condition characterized by high levels of sugar in the urine, even in the presence of normal levels of sugar in the blood. It is caused by a genetic mutation leading to defects in the renal tubules, where sugar is supposed to be reabsorbed.
