Hyperglycemia was found in 39(43%)of the patients,55%of whom either had diabetes mellitus or latent diabetes;the others had idiopathic hyperglycemia.Norepinephrine levels were associated with the severity of the stroke(P=.005)and with hypertension(P=.03)but not with glucose levels, irrespective of whether or not the patients had diabetes.We conclude that hyperglycemia in the acute phase of stroke cannot be explained by increased stress. |
