title: [Effect of glucose load on blood cortisol levels in patients with stroke in the earliest period of the illness].
abstract: The studied group comprised 32 healthy subjects, 30 patients with ischaemic stroke and 11 with cerebral haemorrhage. Serum glucose and cortisol levels were determined before and after intravenous administration of 40% glucose in a bolus injection. In cases of severe stroke significant hyperglycaemia and hypercortisolaemia were demonstrated. The degree of hypercortisolaemia was higher in cases with more severe course and was associated usually with disturbances in the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion. Administration of hypertonic glucose solution caused no changes in the serum cortisol level in the studied patients.
