  Purpose: We investigated the relationship between plasma glucose and serum 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) concentrations in surgical patients to determine the role of 1,5-AG concentrations in perioperative glycemic control. Methods: We enrolled 57 patients (19 with and 38 without diabetes) in the study, who underwent hepatectomy under general anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil. Plasma glucose and serum 1,5-AG concentrations were measured and their correlations were evaluated. Results: In all patients, plasma glucose concentrations increased significantly during hepatectomy, but serum 1,5-AG concentrations declined after surgery. Linear regression analysis revealed a weak but significant correlation between the decrease rate of 1,5-AG concentrations and the increase rate of plasma glucose concentrations.
