Abstract

In persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), the long term outcome of the disease is not well documented. Previous reports suggested that partial pancreatectomy in infants does not endanger future islet function. We evaluated endocrine pancreatic function in 14 PHHI patients 6.5-21 yr after diagnosis. Eight underwent early subtotal pancreatectomy, and 6 were medically treated; all were in clinical remission. Intravenous glucose tolerance and C-peptide suppression tests were performed, with multiple determinations of hormone levels. The insulin response to glucose was blunted in all pancreatectomized and in 2 conservatively treated patients. Glucose disposal was reduced in 6 pancreatectomized patients and in 2 medically treated subjects. Six of the pancreatectomized patients, including two with normal glucose disposal at first evaluation, developed overt diabetes during puberty. None in the medically treated group became diabetic; however, only 2 patients have reached puberty. C-Peptide suppression in response to hypoglycemia was inadequate in 4 of 5 pancreatectomized and 3 of 5 nonpancreatectomized patients studied. These results show that children with PHHI have impaired insulin responses to glucose and lack of suppressibility of endogenous insulin secretion several years after clinical remission. Thus, the beta-cell defect responsible for the disease in infancy is not corrected with time despite the disappearance of spontaneous hypoglycemia. Insulin secret…

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.
