Estimation ofBlood Glucose


By Chemist: Warda R. Hayder
Objec&ve

• To measure the concentra.on of glucose in a


serum sample for the diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus.
• To know the principle of the method for
es.ma.on of blood glucose
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
• Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of
the body; insulin facilitates glucose entry into the
cells.
• Diabetes is a disease manifested by hyperglycemia.
• Clinical diagnosis should not be made on a single
test result; it should integrate clinical and other
laboratory data.
PREPARATION
Working reagent (WR):
Dissolve the contents of one vial R 2 Enzymes in one boCle of R 1 Buffer.
Cap and mix gently to dissolve contents.
The reagent is stable 1 month aMer reconsNtuNon in the refrigerator
(2-8 C ͦ) or 7 days at room temperature (15-25 C ͦ).
Requirements:
*Samples:
-Blood samples
Whole blood
Serum
Plasma

InstrumentaNon:
-Photometer adjusted on wavelength 500 nm
-CuveCe (light path) 1 cm
-Water bath at 37 ºC
-AutomaNc pipeCes, disposable test tubes , racks and disposable Nps for
the dispensers.
PROCEDURE

1. Assay condi,ons:
Wavelength: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . 500 nm
Cuve;e: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 1 cm light path
Temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 C ͦ / 15-25 C
2. Adjust the instrument to zero with dis,lled water.
3. Pipe;e into a cuve;e:
Blank Standard Sample
1.0 ml 1.0 ml 1.0 ml WR (mL)
-- 10 µL -- Standard (µL)
-- -- 10 µL Sample (µL)
10 µL -- -- DW
4. Mix and incubate for 10 min at 37 C o ͦ r 20 min at room
temperature (15-25 C )ͦ .

5. Read the absorbance (A) of the samples and standard, against the
Blank.
The color is stable for at least 30 minutes.
CALCULATIONS
(A) Sample x 100 (Standard conc.) = mg/dL glucose in the sample
(A) Standard

Normal Range:
Blood glucose…
Fas.ng= 70 - 110 mg/dl
2 hrs. Postprandial = 110 - 140 mg/dl
II - Hyperglycemia :
1. Diabetes Mellitus
2. Haemochromatosis: excess iron in the body and the accumulation of iron in
the pancreas cause damage to the cells that produce insulin.

3. Hypokalemia:potassium inter to the cell together with glucose by the action of


insulin so if potassium level decreased the entrance of glucose to the cell will be decreased so
blood glucose level will be increased

4. Stress: increase adrenalin, cortisone and growth hormone levels so cause


hyperglycemia

5. Pregnancy:During early pregnancy, increases in estrogens, progestin's, and other


pregnancy-related hormones lead to lower glucose levels, promotion of fat deposition. As
gestation progresses, however, postprandial glucose levels steadily increase as insulin sensitivity
steadily decreases

6. Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid hormones affect glucose metabolism via several
mechanisms.
7. Cushing disease:
increase cor7sone level so increase glucose level
