Application value of serum calcium concentration in patients with secondary urinary tract infection with impaired glucose tolerance

Abstract

Objective To analyze the changes of serum calcium concentration in patients with urinary tract infection after hypoglycemia. Methods A total of 186 patients with secondary urinary tract infection in hospital from Jan. 2016 to Jun. 2017 were divided by random number table method. The 61 cases in the control group were patients with secondary urinary tract infection, the 62 patients in diabetes group were diabetic secondary urinary tract infections, and 63 cases in impaired glucose tolerance group were patients impaired glucose tolerance secondary to urinary tract infection. The changes of serum calcium levels in the three groups were compared at different time periods. Results There was no significant difference in serum calcium level between the three groups at admission and discharge (P>0.05); At the time of infection, the serum calcium levels of all the three groups significantly decreased, and significantly increased at the time of discharge. In both the diabetic group and the hypoglycemia group, the decrease range was higher than that in the control group, and the decrease range in the hypoglycemia group was higher than that in the diabetes group (P<0.05). Conclusions Serum calcium can be used as a test indicator for patients with urinary tract infection after imparied glucose tolerance, evaluate the condition and prognosis, and clinical attention should be paid to patients with imparied glucose tolerance.
