Hyperglycorrachia

Hyperglycorrachia is an increased level of glucose in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Hyperglycorrachia occurs when glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier is impaired. In this case, the level of glucose in the cerebrospinal fluid exceeds 2/3 of its level in the blood.

Causes of hyperglycorrachia:

1. diabetes;
2. brain tumors;
3. inflammatory diseases of the nervous system (meningitis, encephalitis);
4. brain injuries;
5. cerebral circulatory disorders.

Clinical manifestations of hyperglycorrachia are nonspecific and depend on the underlying disease.

Diagnosis is based on analysis of cerebrospinal fluid with determination of glucose concentration.

Treatment is aimed at correcting the underlying disease that has caused disruption of glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier.

Hyperglycorrachia: what is it and how to diagnose it

Hyperglycorrachia is a condition in which glucose levels in the spinal cord are higher than normal. This condition can be caused by a variety of causes, including disorders of glucose metabolism, infections and tumors.

Diagnosis of hyperglycorrachia is usually made by measuring glucose levels in the spinal cord. To do this, the patient undergoes a lumbar puncture, a procedure in which a needle is inserted into the spinal canal to take a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. CSF glucose levels are typically approximately 60% of blood glucose levels, so in hyperglycorrachia, CSF glucose levels may exceed 2.8 mmol/L.

Hyperglycorrachia can be associated with various diseases such as diabetic neuropathy, metastases of tumors in the spinal cord, spinal cord infections and others. Treatment of hyperglycorrachia depends on its cause and may include treatment of the underlying disease, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications.

In conclusion, hyperglycorrachia is a condition in which the glucose levels in the spinal cord are higher than normal. Diagnosis of hyperglycorrachia is made by measuring glucose levels in the cerebrospinal fluid, which can help identify various diseases associated with this condition. Treatment for hyperglycorrachia depends on its cause and can be effective if diagnosed early and treated appropriately.
