Abstract
Neonatal hyperglycemia is one of the most common metabolic abnormalities encountered in preterm and critically ill newborns. Although the definition varies, a blood glucose concentration greater than 125 mg/dL (6.9 mmol/L) or a plasma or serum glucose concentration greater than 150 mg/dL (8.3 mmol/L) often is used. Management of hyperglycemia is highly variable, probably because of the lack of evidence for improved outcomes in most neonates with any specific approach. This review focuses on the risk factors and causes for neonatal hyperglycemia, the associated consequences and pathology, and current management strategies.
