Successful Medical Management of Status Post-Roux-en-Y-Gastric-Bypass Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is the most commonly performed type of bariatric surgery, which is used in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent case reports and case series have described a rare complication of RYGBP, status post-gastric-bypass hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, which was mainly managed successfully with pancreatectomy. In this letter, we describe the first successful management of status post-gastric-bypass hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with diazoxide.

Reversible Adrenal Insufficiency in Three Patients With Post–Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Noninsulinoma Pancreatogenous Hypoglycemia Syndrome
Objective. Noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) is a disorder of endogenous hyperinsulinemia that is clinically distinguishable from insulinoma, with a greater preponderance after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYBG). Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia can predispose to attenuation of counterregulatory hormone responses to hypoglycemia, and consequent suppression of the hypothalami...
متن کاملAdult onset nesidioblastosis after gastric bypass surgery, a clinical and pathologic review
Despite the many benefits of bariatric surgery in patients with morbid obesity, concerns have been raised over its association with severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and nesidioblastosis following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Cases have been described with severe post-prandial hypoglycemia with neurological symptoms following surgery. Some of these cases are recalcitrant to medical trea...
متن کاملProposal of a Revisional Surgery to Treat Non-insulinoma Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglicemia Postgastric Bypass
BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinemic hypoglicemia with severe neuroglycopenic symptoms has been identified as a late and rare complication in patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, the potential gravity of its manifestations requires effective treatment of this condition. The absence of treatment makes it necessary to develop more effective clinical or surgical methods. AIM To presen...
متن کاملContinuous Glucose Monitoring for Evaluation of Glycemic Excursions after Gastric Bypass
Background. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenia is a rare complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). We hypothesized that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) would be useful to characterize glycemic variability after RYGB. Methods. CGM and mixed meal tolerance testing (MMTT) were performed on sixteen post-RYGB subjects, ten with a history of neuroglycopenia on medical treat...
متن کاملHyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with nesidioblastosis after gastric-bypass surgery.
We describe six patients (five women and one man; median age, 47 years; range, 39 to 54) with postprandial symptoms of neuroglycopenia owing to endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Except for equivocal evidence in one patient, there was no radiologic evidence of insulinoma. Selective arterial calcium-stimulation tests, positive in each patient, were u...
