Article Synopsis
- Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) can lead to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, with high-dose steroid treatment potentially worsening these effects.
- A study was conducted on 15 patients with ASUC to measure metabolic stress and insulin resistance before and three weeks after discharge, utilizing various assessment methods.
- Results showed significant insulin resistance and high fasting glucose levels during admission, which improved after three weeks but remained elevated compared to healthy controls, highlighting the need for monitoring post-treatment.
