Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in preterm neonates.
Hyperinsulinism in infancy (HI) is an important cause of severe and recurrent hypoglycaemia in newborn infants. It usually appears in infants born at term, and only one case of its occurrence in a prematurely born infant has been reported as an incidental finding. This is a report of seven infants born at 31-36 weeks gestation who experienced severe persistent hyperinsulinism. Two infants were ...
متن کاملThe Diagnosis and Management of Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is tightly regulated to keep fasting blood glucose concentrations within the normal range (3.5-5.5 mmol/L). Hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) is a heterozygous condition in which insulin secretion becomes unregulated and its production persists despite low blood glucose levels. It is the most common cause of severe and persistent hypoglycaemia in neo...

CORRESPONDENCE Paradoxical severe decrease in serum HDL-cholesterol after treatment with a fibrate: reply by the authors We read the letter of Olukoga 1 (in response to our earlier paper 2) with interest and feel that it covers the area of fibrate induced hy-poalphalipoproteinaemia excellently. Unfortunately , we are not aware of a clear and unifying explanation as to why some patients exhibit ...
متن کاملPlasma C peptide in hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia.
We describe two children with hypoglycaemia due to pancreatic beta cell hyperactivity. Both had low serum insulin but raised plasma C peptide concentrations when hypoglycaemic. Measurement of C peptide is valuable in the diagnosis of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in children.
متن کاملHyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in small for dates babies.
Blood glucose concentrations were measured prospectively in 27 small for dates infants in the first 48 hours after birth: 10 infants became hypoglycaemic. Of these, five had inappropriately raised plasma insulin concentrations. Plasma free fatty acids were lower and carbohydrate intake higher in these five infants, further supporting the diagnosis of hyperinsulinism. The hypoglycaemia recurred ...
