Autoimmunologiczny zespół insulinowy/Zespół autoimmunologicznej hipoglikemii/Zespół autoimmunologicznej hiperinsulinemii

A rare endocrine disease characterized by hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia associated with the presence of autoantibodies to endogenous insulin without previous exposure to exogenous insulin. Patients usually present in adulthood with postprandial, fasting-, or exercise-induced hypoglycemia, often with pronounced neuroglycopenic symptoms. Laboratory investigations reveal markedly elevated serum insulin, as well as increased C-peptide and proinsulin. The condition may be associated with other autoimmune diseases, monoclonal gammopathy, and/or recent exposure to certain medications.
