Insulinoma 201230 years experience with diagnosis and treatment Jan Škrha 3rd Department of Internal Medicine, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague 27th Symposium of the Federation of the International Danube-Symposia of Diabetes Mellitus, Budapest, 28-30th June, 2012
CAUSE OF HYPOGLYCEMIA According to pathogenesis a) decreased glucose production - lack of contraregulatory hormones - liver or kidney disease, alcohol b) increased glucose utilisation - exogenously caused (DM treatment) - endogenously caused (insulinoma) 2. According to timing of the food ingestion a) fasting hypoglycemia (!!!) b) random hypoglycemia during the day - reactive (functional), postoperative
Hypoglycemia and activation of contraregulatory hormones neurogenic symptoms neuroglycopenic symptoms
HYPOGLYCEMIC SYMPTOMS 1) neurogenic: sweatting, palpitations, tachycardia, (adrenergic) anxiety, tremor 2) neuroglycopenic: a) neurologic: confusion,headache, blurred vision, diplopy, dysarthria, decreased abbility to concentrate, impaired speech and consciousness, cramps, epilepsy b) psychiatric: unusual hesitation, temper changes (depression, euphory) impaired thinking

TREATMENT • surgical • - by laparotomy • - by laparoscopy • conservative • - regimen (diet, activity) • - pharmacological • (diazoxide, octreotide)

HYPOGLYCEMIA FACTITIA Characteristic signs: suspicion on insulinoma uncertainty from clinical picture uncertainty from laboratory findings frequent relationship of the patient to health care providers Attention: IATROGENIC HYPOGLYCEMIA
Conclusions for clinical practice Hypoglycemia is deleterious for organism and is life threatening • to analyse symptoms (history !) • to confirm hypoglycemia • to elucidate cause of hypoglycemia (confirm diagnosis) • to realize reliable treatment strategy removing hypoglycemia (related to diagnosis and clinical state of the patient)
