Adrenal Insufficiency as a Contributor to Severe Hypoglycemia in Late Dumping Syndrome: A Case Series.

Severe hypoglycemia (SH) is a significant risk, particularly in the elderly, and adrenal insufficiency (AI) may be a contributing factor. This study examines six cases of late dumping syndrome (LDS)-induced reactive hypoglycemia (RH), with AI as a potential trigger. Three of the six patients were diagnosed with AI, and one experienced a hypoglycemic coma.

Impact of Glucocorticoid Replacement Therapy on Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in Adrenal Insufficiency: An Analysis of Multiple Case Studies.

Background And Aim: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a hormonal disorder characterized by insufficient glucocorticoid production. Nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH) occurs in patients with AI. However, the effect of glucocorticoid replacement therapy (GCRT) on AI and NH remains unclear.

A comparison of meal tolerance test and oral glucose tolerance test for predicting insulin therapy in patients with gestational diabetes.

Aims: To identify factors predicting a need for insulin therapy in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by comparing plasma glucose (PG) levels in a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (75-g OGTT) with those in a 500-kcal meal tolerance test (MTT) containing 75 g of carbohydrate.

Subjects And Methods: The MTT was performed in 61 patients who diagnosed with GDM by a 75-g OGTT (age, 33.2 ± 4.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis in infected thyroid cyst in an adult patient under hemodialysis.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) accompanied by an abscess is a rare clinical case. Hemodialysis patients are at risk for infections. Sepsis mortality was from 100 to 300 times higher for chronic dialysis patients than that for the general public.
