Glucose

Glucose measurement in body fluids is important for the diagnosis and management of diabetes, hypoglycemia, adrenal dysfunction, and other metabolic conditions. Monitoring glucose levels helps assess how the body regulates and uses blood sugar.

Clinical Significance

• Increased glucose levels: May occur in diabetes mellitus, during intravenous administration of glucose-containing fluids, severe physical stress, and cerebrovascular accidents.

• Decreased glucose levels: May result from insulin administration, insulinoma, inherited disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, or prolonged fasting.
