Abstract
Fifty patients with grade III and IV malnutrition with diarrhoeal dehydration were studied. Hyperglycemia was present in 5 cases at admission. Serum sodium levels were normal in all of them except one case who had hyponatremia. Blood sugar levels were normal in all the cases after rehydration with ORS. Possible mechanisms in pathogenesis of hyperglycemia are discussed.Entities:
