Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome: a rare cause of postprandial hypoglycemia
A 65-year-old obese Caucasian woman presented with symptomatic postprandial hypoglycemic episodes, resolution of symptoms with carbohydrate intake and significantly elevated anti-insulin antibody levels. She did not have any evidence for the use of oral antidiabetic medications, insulin, herbal substances, performing strenuous exercise or history of bariatric surgery. Fingerstick blood glucose ...
متن کاملRecurrent Hypoglycaemia due to Insulin Autoimmune Disease (Hirata Disease) Associated with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance.
Hirata disease is a rare disease characterised by recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia due to anti-insulin antibody. In most of these cases causative agents were sulfhydryl containing compounds like Penicillamine, Glutathione, and Methimazole. The presentation of disease closely mimics insulinoma. We report 52 years female patient presenting with recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia due to anti-i...
متن کاملRare Cause of Recurrent Hypoglycemia: Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome
We report a case of insulin autoimmune syndrome associated with several autoantibodies, presenting with recurrent hypoglycemia, predominantly in the postprandial period, which improved by dietary management and spontaneously resolved within two months. Differentiation from other causes of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, such as insulinoma, is important to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures or...
متن کاملInsulin Autoimmune Syndrome: a rare case of hypoglycaemia resolving with immunosuppression.
We report a case of a 58-year-old male presenting with confusion and hypoglycaemia. There had been no prior exposure to oral hypoglycaemic agents or insulin. He was found to have inappropriate endogenous hyperinsulinaemia. Insulinoma was excluded by detailed endocrine assessment. Insulin antibodies were positive in keeping with a diagnosis of insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS). He was treated wi...
متن کاملInsulin-mediated hypoglycaemia secondary to recurrent clear cell renal carcinoma.
Renal cell carcinoma has previously been associated with hypoglycaemia in the setting of non-islet cell tumours, caused by a paraneoplastic phenomenon relating to the production of insulin-like growth factor type II. We present a case of recurrent clear cell renal cell carcinoma, leading to an insulin-mediated paraneoplastic phenomenon causing severe recurrent hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemina was ...
