Question

which substances are normally excreted in small amounts in urine? select all that apply. protein glucose bilirubin acetone urobilinogen

Explanation:

• Protein: Normally, only trace - amounts of protein are excreted in urine. Excess indicates kidney problems.
• Glucose: In normal circumstances, almost all glucose is reabsorbed in the kidneys, but very small amounts can be present.
• Bilirubin: Small amounts of urobilinogen (a product related to bilirubin metabolism) are normal in urine, but bilirubin itself is not normally found in urine in significant amounts.
• Acetone: Small amounts can be present in urine, especially during conditions like starvation or diabetes with ketosis.
• Urobilinogen: Small amounts are normally excreted in urine as part of the normal bilirubin - metabolism pathway.

Answer:

Protein, Glucose, Acetone, Urobilinogen
