De León-Crutchlow D.D., Stanley C.A. (Eds.) Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis and Management

Springer, 2019. — 171 p. — (Contemporary Endocrinology). — ISBN: 978-3-030-02960-9.This unique book is a practical guide for the clinician faced with the challenge of diagnosing and managing neonates, infants and children with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), within the framework of pathophysiology and molecular genetics. Major advances have been made in HI research over the past two decades, and with this better understanding of the molecular genetics of HI, a “personalized” approach to management according to the type of hyperinsulinism, and particularly according to the likelihood of focal hyperinsulinism, is starting to emerge.Approach to the Diagnosis of Neonates and Infants with Persistent Hypoglycemia
