Glucose (unstabilized) (Serum (s))

Testcode:	E_GLUS
Specimens:	1 ml Serum (s)
Preanalytics/Notes:	To ascertain the correct glucose value, the measurement of glucose in NaF/citrate plasma (GlucoEXACT tubes etc.) is recommended; sodium fluoride in combination with citrate inhibits the glycolysis and thereby the degradation of glucose. Dependent on the time of sampling, different qualities of glucose can be mentioned: Fasting glucose: Blood sampling in the morning before breakfast Preprandial glucose: Blood sampling 30 - 60 minutes before insulin dosing Postprandial glucose: Blood sampling usually 2 hours after a meal Diurnal glucose profile: Combination of fasting, preprandial and postprandial glucose, blood sampling e.g. 8:00am, 11:00am and 2:00pm Random glucose: Blood sampling carried out in the course of the day or night, independent of meals.
Method:	Photometric assay
Dimension:	mg/dl
Alternate dimension:	mmol/l (Factor: 0.05551) Calculator
Set-up:	Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Duration:	1 day
Indication/Significance:	Diagnostic assessment of the diabetic metabolic status Therapy control of diabetic patients Assessment of the carbohydrate metabolism in the case of diseases that can reactively lead to carbohydrate metabolism disorders, e.g. pregnancy, chronic liver disease, acute and chronic pancreatitis, acromegaly, Addison's disease, therapy with corticosteroids and medication inducing a hyperglycaemia, stress reactions Gestational diabetes
Interpretation:	Increased in the case more… Increased in the case of: Diabetes mellitus type I and II Other endocrine causes: Cushing's syndrome, eosinophilic adenoma of the hypophysis (acromegaly), phaeochromocytoma Pancreatic disorders (acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, pancreas tumour, status post pancreatectomy) Gestational diabetes Haemochromatosis Chronic hepatopathies Central disorders (cranial trauma, tumours) Exogenous causes: Steroid therapy, shock, burns, injection of adrenaline Decreased in the case of: Insulinoma (hyperinsulinism) Malnutrition Various medications Malabsorption syndrome Therapeutic overdose of antidiabetics Suicidal intake of antidiabetics Decompensated hepatic cirrhosis Acute hepatocellular injury Glucagon deficiency Literature: Kerner, W., Brückel, J., Definition, Klassifikation und Diagnostik des Diabetesmellitus, Diabetologie 2010; 5: page 109 to page 112 close
