Steroid-induced hyperglycaemia and pulmonary disease.
Chakrabarti and colleagues recently reported that hyperglycaemia within 24 h of admission could be used as a predictor of outcome during non-invasive ventilation in decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hyperglycaemia was unrelated to prior oral corticosteroid use in this study, but duration of steroid preceding admission was not reported. Furthermore, as this group includ...

Pathophysiological stress from acute illness causes metabolic disturbance, including altered hepatic glucose metabolism, increased peripheral insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia. Acute hyperglycaemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients in intensive care units and patients with acute respiratory disease. The present review will consider mechanisms underlying this a...

متن کاملOutpatient management of steroid-induced hyperglycaemia and steroid-induced diabetes in people with lymphoproliferative disorders treated with intermittent high dose steroids
High dose steroids (HDS) are used in the treatment of haematological malignancies. The reported risk of steroid-induced diabetes (SID) is high. However, screening is not consistently performed. We implemented a protocol for detection and management of SID and steroid-induced hyperglycamia (SIH) in haematology outpatients receiving HDS. Eighty-three people were diagnosed with a lymphoproliferati...
