hypoglycemia/albumin

To study the association between serum albumin and cholesterol levels at hospital admission and incident hypoglycaemia among people admitted to internal medicine units. In this cross-sectional analysis, we examined the electronic medical records of people hospitalized in internal medicine

Oxidative stress has been linked to a number of chronic diseases, and this has aroused interest in the identification of clinical biomarkers that can accurately assess its severity. We used liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to show that oxidised and non-oxidised Met

It was observed that patients developed episodes of hypoglycemia during molecular adsorbent recycling system (MARS) treatment. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of MARS treatment on blood glucose concentration to formulate appropriate dextrose replacement guidelines during MARS dialysis.

BACKGROUND The clinical significance of early transient hypoglycemia (ETH), a frequent event in preterm newborns, is a highly controversial issue. In experimental models, hypoglycemia has been reported to cause oxidative stress. Among the reactive species, early generated peroxynitrite is

Hypoglycaemia was induced by insulin injected intravenously (0.15 i.u./kg body weight) in seven healthy young males. Plasma volume was measured before and during hypoglycaemia by intravenous injection of 125I before hypoglycaemia and of 131I during hypoglycaemia. Plasma volume decreased and

The aim of our study was to determine if different hypoglycemic therapies are associated with more frequent episodes of hypoglycemia in diabetes patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. We conducted a prospective cohort study that included 102 diabetes patients who were undergoing long-term

BACKGROUND End-stage renal disease is a common predisposing condition for the development of hypoglycaemia. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of hypoglycaemia on the mortality of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis. METHODS Retrospective and descriptive analyses were performed in five dialysis

Chronic hyperglycemia results in a non-enzymatic glycation of proteins, and produces Amadori products, such as glycated albumin (GA), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and fructosamine. In current clinical practice, long-term glycemic control is assessed by quarterly measurements of HbA1c. Since the

The effects of acute insulin-induced hypoglycaemia on renal function were studied in 8 normal male subjects. Plasma glucose (mean (SE) fell from 4.6(0.2) to 1.3(0.2) mmol l(-1), the nadir being coincident with the acute autonomic reaction, and returned to the basal value over the following 120 min.

We report that glycated albumin (GA) is higher relative to HbA1c in non-diabetic, gastrectomized subjects without anemia, and thus is a sign of oxyhyperglycemia. It is known that gastrectomized subjects are prone to iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), and that the HbA1c levels of subjects with IDA are

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics, associated risk factors, and outcome of hypoglycemia in nondiabetic hospitalized older patients. METHODS A retrospective case control study. METHODS Sixty patients, aged 65 years and older, in the acute medical and geriatric wards who developed

The adrenergic control of intact PTH secretion was investigated by measuring its plasma concentration during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in normal human subjects under control conditions (n = 12) and after alpha (n = 5)- or beta (n = 6)-adrenoceptor blockade. Blood samples were taken at baseline,

Magnesium probably protects brain tissue against the effects of cerebral ischemia, brain injury and stroke through its actions as a calcium antagonist and inhibitor of excitatory amino acids. The effects of magnesium sulfate on cerebrovascular permeability to a dye, Evans blue, were studied during

OBJECTIVE To find out the features of glycemic excursion via continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) during continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) treatment in type 2 diabetics and discuss the possibility of predicting nocturnal hypoglycaemia with bedtime glucose level. METHODS A total
