Impaired gluconeogenesis in extensively injured patients with gram-negative bacteremia.
Glucose kinetics and gluconeogenic precursors were studied in burned patients with or without gram-negative bacteremia. Gram-negative sepsis in burned patients impairs the increased rate of hepatic glucose production which characteristically occurs after thermal injury.
