OBJECTIVE: To describe a patient with kidney insufficiency from diabetes treated with glyburide, who presented with prolonged and recurrent hypoglycemia unresponsive to large intravenous doses of glucose, which was treated successfully with intravenously administered octreotide, and to review the therapeutic options for hypoglycemia.
METHODS: We present a case report of a 66-year-old man with diabetes causing chronic kidney disease, who was treated with orally administered glyburide, 7.5 mg twice a day. He initially presented to another hospital because of hypoglycemia and was treated with intravenously administered glucose and discharged. The next day, his family brought him to our emergency department because of recurring low blood glucose levels and symptoms of sweating, fever, and nightmares. Laboratory tests revealed a blood glucose level of 33 mg/dL and a creatinine concentration of 6.2 mg/dL.
RESULTS: The patient was treated with a 5% dextrose and, subsequently, a 10% dextrose infusion without any sustained improvement. The blood glucose level remained low despite the additional administration of 3 ampules of 50% dextrose in water. The patient was given a bolus of octreotide (50 mug subcutaneously) 14 hours after his second presentation. He received another 50-mug dose of octreotide 6 hours later. After this bolus, the hypoglycemia resolved, and he no longer required intravenous administration of glucose to maintain euglycemia.
CONCLUSION: Patients with diabetes and kidney disease frequently have persistent and difficult-to-treat hypoglycemia, unresponsive to conventional therapy. Octreotide is an effective and safe treatment for patients with refractory hypoglycemia attributable to sulfonylureas.
