Answer:

People have glucose in their urine because they reach very high glucose values, that is, glycemic peaks.

Glycemic peaks occur due to a functional lack of the hormone insulin, insulin in this pathology is altered or absent, that is why the cells cannot assimilate energy and glucose does not enter the intracellular medium.

When glycemia reaches very high values, it is secreted by urine, but not all glucose is secreted, that is why high concentrations of glucose will be found in plasma and urine, this is called glycemia or uremia in the case of urine.

Diabetes disease is discovered by laboratory tests and clinical signs, the most frequent are: high blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, uremia, high concentration of ketone bodies or ketoacidosis, ketone breath, alteration of the cardiovascular system, high cholesterol, weakness or fatigue, spontaneous diarrhea, among others.

Explanation:

The nephron is the glomerular filtration unit, in which a filtering of the body's waste takes place, through channels or diffusion waves, these channels or these diffusion mechanisms, some are non-saturable and others are saturated in the face of extreme concentrations, That is why, in the event of glycemic peaks, the nephron is highly demanded to eliminate glucose, and the mechanism of excision by urine could even be oversaturated.

People who suffer from diabetes can be for various reasons, genetic causes, obesity, ideopathic, autoimmune disorders or even due to genetic failure in the formation of the hormone insulin.

The only effective method to be able to regulate this imbalance and help the nephron to eliminate it correctly is by giving the patient injectable insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.

Describe the deductible, coinsurance, and copayment requirements for an HMO plan.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

A deductible is the amount you pay for health care services before your health insurance begins to pay. The deductible in the HMO Plan will pay the full charges once you have reached the total deductible. You will start paying less, with a copay or coinsurance, depending on the selected plan. When the limit is reached, you share the cost with your plan by paying coinsurance.

Coinsurance is a percentage of a medical charge that you pay, with the rest paid by your health insurance plan, that typically applies after your deductible has been met. Let's say your health insurance plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $50 and your coinsurance is 20%. All you have to pay is the 20% and your coinsurance will pay the rest.

A health insurance copayment is a fixed amount a healthcare beneficiary pays for covered medical services. The rest of the balance is paid for by the person's insurance company. Copays for standard doctor visits are typically lower than those for specialists.
