Hyperglycemia (hyperglycaemia; Greek hyper- - over, over, excessively + Greek glykys - sweet + haima - blood) - an increased level of glucose in the blood.

Types of hyperglycemia:

adrenaline (adrenalinica) - observed against the background of hyperadrenalinemia and caused by an increase in the process of splitting glycogen in the liver to glucose (glycogenolysis);
alimentary (alimentaria; synonym: food hyperglycemia) - appearing after eating food saturated with carbohydrates;
diabetic (diabetica) - observed in diabetes mellitus and caused by insulin deficiency, which causes a decrease in glucose consumption by tissues, a weakening of glycogen production and its accumulation in the liver, simultaneously with an increase in glyconeogenesis;
persistent (persistens) - long-term hyperglycemia; it is noted against the background of acromegaly, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, Itsenko-Cushing's disease, some diseases of the brain and liver;
transient (transitoria; synonym: temporary hyperglycemia) - short-term hyperglycemia that appears after a meal rich in carbohydrates, against a background of hyperadrenalinemia of various origins (for example, with severe pain irritation, emotional excitement, etc.).
