Evaluation of haemoglobin and serum electrolyte in the case of glycosuria

Abstract

Background: Electrolyte imbalance range in severity of its kind. It primarily affect diabetics because of osmotic fluid changes brought on by hyperglycemia. Numerous writers have discussed it in relation to diabetic and anemic patients, but there hasn't been much discussion of glycosuria, a disease brought on by the proximal tubules of the glomerulus failing to absorb enough sugar or glucose. Aim: To determine the relationship between electrolyte (Sodium & Potassium), haemoglobin, and urine glucose/glycosuria concentration. Materials and Method: A total of 170 patients (90 men and 80 women) blood & urine samples were evaluated in the study, which was carried out at Saraswati Multispeciality Hospital & Trauma Centre, Bopal, Ahmedabad between January 2023 and March 2023. The samples were examined using conventional automatic instruments. Result: The concentration of electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium) had shown an increase with the increase in age from 0 to 30 in the age group of 0 to 5 and 5 to 30 in case of male & female both respectively but the pattern was observed variable after the age of 30 in both the cases (male & female) in the age group of 30 to 50 and above 50. Our observation shows that, in the case of glycosuria, there were no obvious electrolyte imbalances (sodium and potassium) at normal haemoglobin level. Conclusion:We saw an age-dependent pattern of electrolyte imbalance, but none of them fell within the reference range of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and hyperkalemia.
