TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Endocrine Causes of Hypoglycemia A1 - Kelly, Andrea A1 - Stanley, Charles A. A2 - Kline, Mark W. PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Hypoglycemia is a medical emergency that poses serious threats, including seizure and brain damage. Hypoglycemia in children can also cause developmental delay. Hypoglycemic disorders are generally classified as either fasting hypoglycemia or reactive or postprandial hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia varies depending on the underlying disorder. With the exception of late dumping syndrome, a form of reactive hypoglycemia associated with Nissen fundoplication or a gastric tube, childhood hypoglycemia is uniformly a disorder of fasting adaptation. Specific endocrine disorders and associated risk factors for hypoglycemia are discussed in this chapter. Defects in the metabolic systems are discussed in Chapter 149.
