Overview
Insulinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause features of hypoglycemia like altered mental status/confusion, profuse sweating and visual disturbances (blurring/diplopia). These are classified on the basis of laboratory findings into exogenous insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents (e.g. sulphonylureas), nesidioblastosis, insulin autoimmune hypoglycemia.
Differentiating insulinoma from other Diseases
Insulinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause features of hypoglycemia. These are classified on the basis of laboratory findings.
Differentials for Hypoglycemia on the basis of Laboratory findings:[1]
Diagnoses | Laboratory Findings differentiating among causes of Hypoglycemia | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
S.Glucose (mg/dL) |
C Peptide (pmol/L) | S.Insulin (μU/mL) | S.Proinsulin (pmol/L) |
S. Beta hydroxybutyrate | Glucose increase after glucagon(mg/dL) | Oral Hypoglycemic agent | Antibodies to Insulin | |
Normal/Fasting | <55 | <200 | <3 | <5 | >2.7 | <25 | - | - |
Exogenous Insulin | <55 | <200 | >>3 | <5 | ≤2.7 | >25 | - | - |
