Children with HIHA frequently present seizures (most commonly atypical or absence) and learning difficulties. Neurologic abnormalities appear to be unrelated to hypoglycemia. [orpha.net]
The present report describes a mother and 2 children with leucine-induced hypoglycemia (LIH). Hypoglycemic episodes following high-protein meals first appeared at age 4-7 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Make the best clinical decisions with an enhanced emphasis on evidence-based practice and expert opinions on treatment strategies. Zero in on the most relevant and useful references with the aid of a more focused, concise bibliography. [books.google.com]
To evaluate the therapeutic effects and to study the mechanism of hyperinsulinism in LIH, the leucine test was repeated under treatment with diphenylhydantoin, oxprenolol (a beta-blocker), and diazoxide. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Prognosis - Hypoglycemia- leucine-induced Like diabetes, there is no cure for reactive hypoglycemia, only ways to control it. [checkorphan.org]
Reactive Hypoglycemia Prognosis Although there are no permanent cures for Reactive hypoglycemia, maintaining a strict diet plan and regularly coordinating with the physician will allow an individual to manage the symptoms associated with this condition [hxbenefit.com]
Etiology
Etiology Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate, yielding alpha-ketoglutarate and an ammonia by-product. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is estimated at 1 in 200,000. [orpha.net]
Pathophysiology
Patients who use insulin as a part of intensive therapy are at increased risk of hypoglycemia several hours after drinking alcohol. return to top Pathophysiology Glucagon and epinephrine are the most important immediate responders to hypoglycemia. [sharinginhealth.ca]

Prevention - Hypoglycemia- leucine-induced Drug-induced hypoglycemia Preventing hypoglycemic insulin reactions in diabetics requires taking glucose readings through frequent blood sampling. Insulin then can be regulated based on those readings. [checkorphan.org]
