Exercise induced hypoglycaemic hyperinsulinism.
BACKGROUND Hyperinsulinism in childhood is often caused by genetic defects involving the regulation of insulin secretion leading to recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia. We report two patients with exercise induced hypoglycaemia. METHODS Standardised short exercise tests with frequent blood glucose and plasma insulin measurements were performed in the patients and young healthy controls. RES...
متن کاملHYPERINSULINISM Genetics of neonatal hyperinsulinism
Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous entity. The clinical heterogeneity is manifested by severity ranging from extremely severe, life threatening disease to very mild clinical symptoms, which may even be diYcult to identify. Furthermore, clinical responsiveness to medical and surgical management is extremely variable. Recent discoveries have begun to cla...
متن کاملHYPERINSULINISM Practical management of hyperinsulinism in infancy
Hyperinsulinism in infancy is one of the most diYcult problems to manage in contemporary paediatric endocrinology. Although the diagnosis can usually be achieved without diYculty, it presents the paediatrician with formidable day to day management problems. Despite recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology of hyperinsulinism, the neurological outcome remains poor, and there is often ...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis and the first cause in young people. Bone loss and increased rate of fractures occur early after the initiation of corticosteroid therapy, and are then related to dosage and treatment duration. The increase in fracture risk is not fully assessed by bone mineral density measurements, as it is also related to al...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoid drugs interact with bone metabolism at many levels, but their principal action is to reduce osteoblast number and bone matrix synthesis. Virtually all patients receiving glucocorticoids in doses above 5 mg per day lose bone, the amount lost being dependent on the cumulative steroid dose. The risk of fracture is also related to the individual's initial bone density, which in turn ...
