Basal glucosuria is ubiquitous in critically ill patients

The ‘renal threshold for glucose’ has never been evaluated in critically ill patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the renal glucose threshold in this patient group using high‐sensitivity urine glucose assays. In this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, we analysed 100 con...

Description
Summary:The ‘renal threshold for glucose’ has never been evaluated in critically ill patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the renal glucose threshold in this patient group using high‐sensitivity urine glucose assays. In this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, we analysed 100 consecutive critically ill patients from a medical intensive care unit (ICU). Arterial blood glucose and spot urine glucose were simultaneously quantified daily during the first week after ICU admission. Three hundred seventy‐three pairs of blood/urine glucose were plotted in five pre‐defined categories of blood glucose (
