Correlação entre tontura e disfunções do metabolismo da glicose

Abstract

Introducti on: Impaired glucose metabolism is characterized by conditions of hypo and hyperglycemia. Aim: The objective of the present study was to asses whether or not there is a relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and dizziness. In the clinical laboratory settings, patients were examined using vectoelectronystagmography in association with glycemic levels. Methods: 33 patients were divided in 3 groups: diabetics; patients with dizziness and a control group. Results:65% of the patients with dizziness showed impaired glucose metabolism. 40% of the patients with dizziness had alterations in their vectoelectronystagmography results. Conclusion: Dizziness is a good indicator of glucose metabolism alterations and these may be a good indicator of alterations in vectoelectronystagmography responses. The study of glycemic levels after glucose overexposure is a good prognosis factor to evaluate dizziness and shows the same results as insulin level studies after glucose overexposure.

Profile analysis of patients with dizziness in a tertiary hospital in Rio Grande do Norte

“…On the other hand, there was no significant association between spinning vertigo and metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus in the studied population, going against findings in the literature (Fonseca & Davidsohn, 2006;Bittar, et al, 2003), despite the prevalence in the sample (16.7%) surpassing the prevalence of the Brazilian population aged 18 or over (6.2%) (IBGE, 2013). The results found may be related to the sample size, mainly due to the prevalence of Menière's disease in the population, etiology closely related to changes in glucose metabolism (D´avila & Lavinsky, 2005).…”

“…In one of them (22), 65% of patients with dizziness had glucose alterations, which also is above population media. On the other hand, another authors (12) found fasting glucose levels changes in 7,6% of tinnitus patients.…”

Glucose metabolism disorders and vestibular manifestations: evaluation through computerized dynamic posturography

“…Hormonal changes in women between the fourth and fifth decades of life mark the onset of climateric period, whose manifestations may include water retention and metabolic and anxiety disorders. 4 , 21 , 22 , 23 In this age group, GMD acts as a migraine trigger and can also be responsible for triggering postural disorders. 21 , 24 …”
