Аннотация
RATIONALE: Hypoglycemia is common in patients with glucose regulation disorders and related diabetic treatments but is rare in nondiabetic patients. Severe hypoglycemia can cause harm to patients' cognition, consciousness, central nervous system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, and even death. However, the most fundamental way to control hypoglycemia is to identify the cause and deal with the primary disease. This article introduces 3 cases of nondiabetic hypoglycemia with different causes, aiming to improve our understanding of nondiabetic hypoglycemia and improve the ability of early diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
PATIENT CONCERNS: Case 1 is a 19-year-old female with a history of recurrent coma, and magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound of the pancreas suggest insulinoma. Case 2 is a 74-year-old male with a history of viral hepatitis, and computerized tomography shows multiple nodules in the liver, which is diagnosed as liver cancer. Case 3 is a 39-year-old female with a history of taking methimazole, who tested positive for insulin antibodies, and was diagnosed with insulin autoimmune syndrome.
DIAGNOSIS: All 3 patients were diagnosed with nondiabetic hypoglycemia, but the causes varied, and included insulinoma, non-islet cell tumor-induced hypoglycemia, and insulin autoimmune syndrome.
INTERVENTIONS: Case 1 underwent pancreatic tail resection; case 2 refused anti-tumor treatment and received glucose injections for palliative treatment only; and case 3 stopped taking methimazole.
OUTCOMES: After surgery, the blood sugar in case 1 returned to normal, and the blood sugar in case 2 was maintained at about 6.0 mmol/L. The symptoms of hypoglycemia gradually improved in case 3 after stopping the medication.
LESSONS: Non-diabetic hypoglycemia requires further examination to clarify the cause, and the correct differential diagnosis can provide timely and effective treatment, improving the patient's prognosis.
