What is the condition that may result in dehydration due to increased glucose in urine?

The condition resulting in dehydration due to increased glucose in urine is primarily linked to Diabetes Mellitus. In this condition, the body is unable to effectively utilize glucose, often due to issues with insulin production or sensitivity. When blood glucose levels rise significantly (hyperglycemia), the kidneys' ability to reabsorb glucose is overwhelmed, leading to glucosuria, or the presence of glucose in the urine.

As glucose is an osmotically active substance, its presence in the urine causes water to be drawn into the urine, leading to increased urine output (polyuria). This excessive urination can result in dehydration as the body loses not only water but also important electrolytes. The resulting loss of fluid can lead to dryness, thirst, and in severe cases, may require medical intervention to prevent complications.

While hyperglycemia is a characteristic of Diabetes Mellitus, it does not directly encapsulate the condition where glucose is excreted in the urine and subsequently leads to dehydration. Renal failure can cause altered urine production and composition, but it is not specifically related to increased glucose levels in the urine. Acidosis refers to an imbalance in body pH and does not directly involve glucose levels. Thus, Diabetes Mellitus is the condition that directly links increased glucose
