Glucose reabsorption in the kidneys is similar to glucose reabsorption in the intestine. Glucose and Na+ bind to the sodium-dependent glucose transpoer (SGLT) 2 in the apical membrane, and glucose is carried into the cell as Na+ moves down its electrical and chemical gradient. The Na+ is then pumped out of the cell into the interstitium, and the glucose exits by facilitated diffusion glucose transpoer (GLUT) 2 into the interstitial fluid.
