Abstract

Context Severe hypoglycemia is a rare and challenging complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), which is characterized by hypersecretion of insulin and incretin hormones in the postprandial state. Objective The objective of the study was to determine the clinical and hormonal responses to a mixed-meal challenge after the reversal of RYGB in 2 patients with post-RYGB hypoglycemia. We hypothesized that the reversal of RYGB would lead to clinical improvement in hypoglycemia through the attenuation of incretin hormone secretion. DESIGN/SETTING/SUBJECTS/OUTCOME MEASURES: Two patients with post-RYGB hypoglycemia underwent a standardized meal tolerance test prior to and 8 and 18 months after RYGB reversal, respectively, with the measurement of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), insulin, and glucose levels. Gastric bypass was reversed by reattaching the small gastric pouch to the bypassed distal stomach and resecting the Roux limb to restore the normal flow of food bolus. Results Both subjects showed persistent evidence of hypoglycemia with marked hyperinsulinemia after the RYGB reversal. GLP-1 levels after the RYGB reversal decreased by 76% and 70%, respectively, from their prereversal levels and to the level of nonhypoglycemic post-RYGB controls. In contrast, GIP levels after the RYGB reversal increased by 3-10 times the level before the reversal and 8-26 times that of the nonhypoglycemic post-RYGB controls. Conclusions Rever…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
