The mechanism for the tubular reabsorption of glucose can be likened to a conveyor belt running at constant speed. A, When the concentration of glucose in the filtrate is low, all is reabsorbed. B, When the glucose concentration in the filtrate has reached the transport maximum, all carrier sites for glucose are occupied. If the glucose rises further.C, as in the disease diabetes mellitus, some glucose escapes the carriers and appears in the urine.
