The association of early combined lactate and glucose levels with subsequent renal and liver dysfunction and hospital mortality in critically ill patients.


ABSTRACT: The development of renal and liver dysfunction may be accompanied by initially subtle derangements in the gluconeogenetic function. Discrepantly low glucose levels combined with high lactate levels might indicate an impaired Cori cycle. Our objective was to examine the relation between early lactate and glucose levels with subsequent renal and liver dysfunction and hospital mortality in critically ill patients.Over a 4-year period (2011 to 2014), all adult patients admitted to our adult 48-bed teaching hospital intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 12 h were retrospectively analyzed. Lactate and glucose were regularly measured with point-of-care analyzers in all ICU patients. Lactate and glucose measurements were collected from 6 h before to 24 h after ICU admission. Patients with fewer than four lactate/glucose measurements were excluded. Patients received insulin according to a computer-guided control algorithm that aimed at a glucose level <8.0 mmol/L. Renal dysfunction was defined as the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) within 7 days, and liver function was based on the maximal bilirubin in the 7-day period following ICU admission. Mean lactate and mean glucose were classified into quintiles and univariate and multivariate analyses were related with renal and liver dysfunction and hospital mortality. Since glucose has a known U-shaped relation with outcome, we also accounted for this.We analyzed 92,000 blood samples from 9074 patients (63% males) with a median age of 64 years and a hospital mortality of 11%. Both lactate quintiles (?1.0; 1.0-1.3; 1.3-1.7; 1.7-2.3; >2.3 mmol/L) and glucose quintiles (?7.0; 7.0-7.6; 7.6-8.2; 8.2-9.0; >9.0 mmol/L) were related with outcome in univariate analysis (p?
