Hyperglycemic and lipid parameters in diabetic and nondiabetic patients after acute cerebral stroke

Abstract

In 44 patients in acute period of cerebral stroke (35 with a normal glucose tolerance and 9 with non-insulin-dependent diabetes), the concentration of: glycohemoglobin, fructosamine, lipoprotein (a), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TCh), as well as, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-Ch) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-Ch) were measured and atherogenic factors: TCh/HDL-Ch, LDL-Ch/HDL-Ch, TG/HDL-Ch were calculated. Diabetic patients in acute period of cerebral stroke showed not statistically significant increase of lipids, lipoproteins, glycohemoglobin and fructosamine concentrations, as compared with nondiabetic patients.
