Question : My urine results from a lab test showed glucose +2 and amorphous sediment: many
I did not fast before this test by accident. Could that be the cause? I ate a hamburger, fries, and dr pepper the night before and in the morning right before the test i ate a sausage and egg biscuit with a hash brown and large dr pepper. Im 26 years old. My blood tests were all normal including glucose.

Brief Answer:
glucose in the urine possible diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your medical concerns
You recently had a urine test where a significant amount of sugar was found in your urine. This urine glucose could be a result of drinking a large Dr. Pepper before the test. I would recommend repeating your test but not drink any Dr. Pepper prior. If your urine still shows glucose in your urine then I would move forward for possible diabetes. I would not worry at this time as I have seen that happen numerous times with my patients.
I hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care questions and concerns

And that goes for the amorphous sediment too? Thanks for the reply Dr. Schubert
Brief Answer:
sediment not clinically significant
Detailed Answer:
The sediment is not something that indicates any problems. The sediment is only significant if it is called casts. Casts then indicate renal failure or damage but amorphous sediment is just mucous from the urethra or bladder and nothing to worry about.
