* hyperglycemia
* glycogenolysis
* glucongeogenesis
In SIRS and MODS, there is rapid conversion of glucose from glycogen stores and amino acids due to hypermetabolic response. In the progressive stage, despite increases in glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, the liver is unable to maintain an adequate glucose level, and the patient develops hypoglycemia. At the initial stage, there is a release of catecholamines and glucocorticoids, which leads to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
