Tight blood glucose control is renoprotective in critically ill patients.
Two large, prospective, randomized, controlled trials have shown a beneficial effect of intensive insulin therapy (IIT) on the kidney function of critically ill patients. The data from these trials were combined for performance of a more detailed analysis of the renoprotective effect of IIT. After exclusion of 41 patients with preadmission ESRD, the study sample comprised 2707 critically ill pa...

متن کاملTight glucose control in critically ill patients: should glucose meters be used?
Measurement of blood glucose concentrations using portable, hand-held meters is used widely in patients with diabetes. Clinical settings include self-monitoring of blood glucose by patients, in doctors’ offices, in chronic care facilities, and in hospitals. More recently, evidence has emerged suggesting that tight glycemic control of nondiabetic patients in hospital intensive care units (ICUs) ...
