<unk>  or<unk>  is an abnormal condition of osmotic diuresis due to excretion of glucose by the kidneys. The most common cause of<unk>  is untreated diabetes mellitus. The condition occurs when plasma glucose levels rise above kidney threshold for glucose reabsorption. At this point, the excess plasma glucose will not be reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and is excreted in the urine. When the excess glucose is excreted in the urine, it makes water enter the urine due to high osmolarity of the urine. This leads to the characteristic symptom of high urine volumes.<unk>  can be either a physiologic response of the body to elevated blood glucose levels, such as alimentary<unk> ; or it can be a pathologic phenomenon. When<unk>  occurs at normal plasma glucose concentrations due to decreased renal threshold for glucose reabsorption, it is reffered to as renal<unk> .<unk>  has been targeted as a therapeutic option for diseases such as diabetes mellitus, as induction of<unk>  leads to better glycemic control and decreases risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients.
