what is one suffering from if their urine indicates positive tests with Benedict's solutions
Answers
Answer:
Diabetes
Positive Benedict's test implies presence of sugar in urine of that individual. This is true for a person suffering from diabetes.

Answer:
Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate.[1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars. The presence of other reducing substances also gives a positive result.[2] Such tests that use this reagent are called the Benedict's tests. A positive test with Benedict's reagent is shown by a color change from clear blue to brick-red with a precipitate.

Generally, Benedict's test detects the presence of aldehydes, alpha-hydroxy-ketones, and hemiacetals, including those that occur in certain ketoses. Thus, although the ketose fructose is not strictly a reducing sugar, it is an alpha-hydroxy-ketone and gives a positive test because the base in the reagent converts it into the aldoses glucoseand mannose. Oxidation of the reducing sugar by the cupric (Cu2+) complex of the reagent produces a cuprous (Cu+), which precipitatesas insoluble red copper(I) oxide (Cu2O).[3]
