The objective was to assess rate of impaired glucose regulation and progression to diabetes in adults using routinely collected health-care data.Material and methods: We conducted an audit on results of 75-g standardized oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) performed at Vilnius Antakalnio Outpatient Clinic from 3rd Jan 2011 to 15th Dec 2014 and analysed data of adult patients. We excluded from analysis results of 358 patients who didn’t perform 2-h p...

: Two-way interactions between thyroid and kidney functions are known. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is accompanied by changes in synthesis, secretion, metabolism, and elimination of thyroid hormones, increased risk of hypothyroidism, rarely subclinical hyperthyroidism, whereas thyroid dysfunction affects physiology of the kidney, renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular function, metabolism of water and electrolytes, and kidney structure. The aim of the stud...

Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the main tool in population based screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sometimes OGTT results are showing asymptomatic lowering of post-load blood glucose. Post-load plasma glucose (2hPG) level 3.9 mmol/l (70 mg/dl) and lower shows biochemical hypoglycaemia. Biochemical hypoglycaemia might be observed among individuals with abnormal glucose tolerance and in healthy population. The objective of the investigation was to assess a prevalenc...

Hyperprolactinaemia is a common endocrine disorder. Causes are related to physiological factors, pharmacological intervention and pathological conditions. There are a wide variety of drugs that can induce a significant hyperprolactinaemia frequently associated with clinical symptoms. The aim was to analyse clinical manifestation of hyperprolactinaemia in routine clinical practice.Material and methods: We conducted retrospective review of medical records ...
