| Abstract |
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or CSF and plasma levels of sorbitol, 1,5-anhydroglucitol and myoinositol of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with normal kidney function and of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with impaired kidney function were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. The CSF sorbitol level correlated with the plasma glucose level (p less than or equal to 0.05) in diabetic patients with normal kidney function, having received insulin for less than 12 months. The correlation between CSF sorbitol and plasma glucose levels in patients not dependent on insulin was not significant. Sorbitol was not detected in the plasma. The highest sorbitol levels in CSF were seen in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with impaired kidney function. No rise was seen in non-diabetic uremia. 1,5-anhydroglucitol, normally present in plasma, was absent from CSF and plasma in diabetic patients receiving insulin. In non-diabetic uremic patients, 1,5-anhydroglucitol levels in CSF and plasma were lower than in healthy subjects, but htere was no correlation with plasma glucose levels. The myoinositol level was higher in CSF than in the plasma of both non-diabetic and diabetic patients with normal kidney function. Both plasma and CSF levels were significantly (p less than 0.001) elevated in diabetic as well as in non-diabetic uremic patients, the plasma myoinositol increasing relatively more than the CSF levels. The elevation of plasma myoinositol correlated with the elevation of plasma creatinine and thus also with the impairment of kidney function. Plasma and CSF myoinositol levels were not influenced by the plasma glucose level. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 February 2023.
All research outputs
#7,633,928
of 23,257,423 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#2,897
of 5,112 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,417
of 22,068 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,257,423 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,112 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.9. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 22,068 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
