Abstract:
Because of their physiological and anatomical immaturity, premature infants are prone to disorders of glucose metabolism. In the ifrst week after birth, infants have the greater risk of abnormal glucose metabolism. Compared with term infants, the glucose/insulin homeostasis of preterm infants is very different. This article reviewed the characteristics of glycometabolism in premature infant and the methods of glucose test.
