What is REDUCING SUBSTANCE (Random Urine)?

The Reducing Substance (Random Urine) test checks for the presence of reducing sugars (like glucose, fructose, or galactose) in a urine sample. This can indicate issues with carbohydrate metabolism or kidney function.

Why is this test important?

This test is particularly useful in infants and young children to screen for inborn errors of metabolism, such as galactosemia, which require early detection for proper management. In adults, it can help detect significant sugar in the urine, potentially indicating diabetes or kidney problems.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
