3020399 - GLUCOSE [MASS/VOLUME] IN URINE

Glycosuria, or glucose in the urine, is the presence of higher than normal levels of sugar in the urine and may be due to complications with your kidneys or diabetes. [1] Glucose is not normally found in urine. If results show glucose, it may be a sign of: [2]

  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy. As many half of all pregnant women have some glucose in their urine during pregnancy. Too much glucose may indicate gestational diabetes.
  • A kidney disorder

In the OMOP vocabulary 3020399 is a Standard Concept that represents the measurement GLUCOSE [MASS/VOLUME] IN URINE

The recommended low and high values for each unit associated with 3020399 are below. These are not meant to be normal values. Rather, these are meant to be biologically plausible values. For example, it would be implausible to see a patient with a weight of 0 kg though a person could be 2.5 kg.

8840

In the OMOP vocabulary 8840 is a Standard Concept that represents the unit MILLIGRAM PER DECILITER

Plausible Low Value

0.0

Plausible High Value

4000.0

Rationale

The range 0-4000 was chosen based on values seen in real world data. As glucose is not normally found in urine we've assumed that zero is a plausible value. In the data reviewed more than 100% of data with this standard unit concept should be accounted for within this range.
