A 32-year-old man complains of frequent urination. He is overweight (280 lb, 5 ft 10 in tall), and after measuring the 24-hr creatinine clearance, you estimate his GFR to be 150 ml/min. His plasma glucose is 300 mg/dL. Assuming that his renal transport maximum for glucose is normal, as shown in the figure above, what would be this patient’s approximate rate of urinary glucose excretion?
