- Hypoglycaemia
- Definition
- a biochemical symptom, low blood sugar
- Symptoms
- Lethargy, Tremors, Poor feeding, Irritable, Seizure, Coma
- Causes
- PHHI
- Limited glycogen stores
- Prematurity
- intrauterine growth retardation
- increased glucose use
- hyperthermia
- sepsis
- GH deficiency
- Decreased glycogen breakdown/ glucose generation/ use of alternative fuels
- inborn errors of metabolism
- Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
- glycogen storage diseases
- maple syrup urine disease
- adrenal insufficiency
- Addison's Disease
- ACTH deficiency
- inborn errors of metabolism
- depleted glycogen stores/ starvation
- Hyperinsulinism
- Endogenous/ Exogenous
- Treatment
- Emergency- IV dextrose
- others depend on cause
