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 کاملAn Evaluation of Growth Hormone and IGF-1 Responses in Neonates with Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia
Background. Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia (HH) is the most common cause of severe and persistent hypoglycemia in the neonatal period. It has been shown that the neonates with HH fail to generate adequate serum cortisol counterregulatory response to symptomatic hypoglycemia. However the role played by growth hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is not clear. Objectives. To com...
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 ...
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.
