Figure 5From: Moderate glucose control results in less negative nitrogen balances in medical intensive care unit patients: a randomized, controlled studyTwenty-four-hour urinary urea nitrogen and nitrogen balance in patients receiving moderate or conventional insulin therapy. Top, 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen (UUN); bottom, nitrogen balance. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation. A generalized linear model of repeated measurements showed statistically significant differences between the two groups: #P = 0.027 for entire study period, *P < 0.05 for day 3. BSA, body surface area; CIT, conventional insulin therapy; MIT, moderate insulin therapy.Back to article page
