- Hypoglycemia

- Diabetic ketoacidosis

- Hyperosmolar non - ketotic coma

- Focal hyperglycemic seizure

- Thyroid Crisis

- Myxedema Coma

- Adrenal crisis

- Hypercalcemia

- Acute hypocalcemia

Hypoglycemia

ระดั�บ Plasma glucose ต่ำ��กว่� 50 mg/dl

“Whipple’s triad”

- low plasma glucose

- Neuroglycopenia

- Corrected by glucose

Classification

Fasting hypoglycemia

- underproduction

- overutilization

Post prandial hypoglycemia

Underproduction of glucose

Hormone deficiency

Enzyme defect

Substrate deficiency

Acquired liver disease

Drug : alcohol, propanolol,

salicylate,quinine etc.

Overutilization of glucose

Hyperinsulinism

– Insulinoma

– Exogenous insulin

– Sulfonylurea

Appropriate insulin

– Extrapancreatic tumor

– Carnitine deficiency

Treatment

• Oral intake

• Correct cause of hypoglycemia

• Monitor plasma glucose

Good conscious

Unconscious

50% glucose 50 ml IV. ต่ำมดั�ว่ย

DKA

• Kussmaul’s breathing

• Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia

• Alteration of conscious

• Other : dehydration, nausea, abdominal

pain etc.
