[Blood glucose level in hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis]

T I Pricoli, R X Guimarães, J T Carneiro Neto

    Arquivos De Gastroenterologia
    |July 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis had higher blood glucose levels during an oral glucose tolerance test (G.T.T.). However, the study found no diabetic glucose tolerance test curves in these individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Endocrinology
    • Gastroenterology

    Context:

    • Hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting the liver and intestines.
    • Glucose metabolism disorders can be associated with chronic infections.
    • Understanding the metabolic impact of schistosomiasis is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To compare oral glucose tolerance test results between patients with hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis and healthy controls.
    • To investigate potential glucose metabolism alterations in individuals with this parasitic infection.

    Summary:

    • A comparative oral glucose tolerance test was conducted on 30 patients with hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis and 30 controls.
    • Patients with schistosomiasis exhibited higher mean glycemia levels compared to the control group.
    • Despite elevated glucose levels, no patients demonstrated a diabetic glucose tolerance test curve.

    Impact:

    • This study highlights a potential link between hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis and impaired glucose regulation.
    • Findings suggest that schistosomiasis may influence host glucose metabolism without necessarily causing diabetes.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms and clinical significance of these metabolic changes.
