1 | Correlation between high blood IL-6 level, hyperglycemia, and glucose control in septic patients. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
2 | INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the blood IL-6 level, the blood glucose level, and glucose control in septic patients. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
3 | RESULTS: A significant positive correlation between blood IL-6 level and blood glucose level on ICU admission was observed in the overall study population (n = 153; r = 0.24, P = 0.01), and was stronger in the nondiabetic subgroup (n = 112; r = 0.42, P < 0.01). | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
4 | The rate of successful glucose control (blood glucose level < 150 mg/dl maintained for 6 days or longer) decreased with increase in blood IL-6 level on ICU admission (P < 0.01). | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
5 | CONCLUSIONS: High blood IL-6 level was correlated with hyperglycemia and with difficulties in glucose control in septic patients. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
