Plasma glucose, lactate, sodium, and potassium levels in children hospitalized with acute alcohol intoxication
چکیده انگلیسی
The aim of our research was to study prevalence of changes in plasma levels of lactate, potassium, glucose, and sodium in relation to alcohol concentration in children hospitalized with acute alcohol intoxication (AAI). Data from 194 under 18-year-old children hospitalized to the two only children's hospital in Estonia over a 2-year period were analyzed. The pediatrician on call filled in a special form on the clinical symptoms of AAI; a blood sample was drawn for biochemical tests, and a urine sample taken to exclude narcotic intoxication. The most common finding was hyperlactinemia occurring in 66% of the patients (n = 128) followed by hypokalemia (<3.5 mmol/L) in 50% (n = 97), and glucose above of reference value (>6.1 mmol/L) in 40.2% of the children (n = 78). Hypernatremia was present in five children. In conclusion, hyperlactinemia, hypokalemia, and glucose levels above of reference value are common biochemical findings in children hospitalized with acute AAI.
