DEFINITION OF HYPOGLYCEMIA
• Whipple’s triad:
– hypoglycemia, a low plasma glucose concentration
• ≤ 55 mg/dl (3 mmol/l) in persons without diabetes
• ≤ 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l) in person with diabetes, and
• Whipple’s triad:
– symptoms, signs, or both and
– hypoglycemia, a low plasma glucose concentration, and
– resolution of those symptoms or signs after the
plasma glucose concentration is raised
• Etiological diagnosis of hypoglycemia
SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA
AUTONOMIC NEUROGLYCOPENIC
(result of the neurohormonal response (result of brain glucose
triggered by hypoglycemia) deprivation per se)
ADRENERGIC CHOLINERGIC
Palpitations Sweating Behavioral changes
Tremor Hunger Fatigue
Anxiety Numbness Headache
Pallor Blurred vision
Tachycardia Dizziness
Increase BP Confusion
Diplopia
Difficulty in thinking or speech
Neurologic deficits
Seizure
Coma
EVALUATION OF HYPOGLYCEMIA IN PERSONS WITHOUT DIABETES
•Definition
•Classification
•Diagnostic
•Medical nutrition therapy
•Pharmacological treatment
DEFINITION
• Hyperuricemia is defined as an elevated serum uric acid greater
than 7mg/dl
• Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is defined as elevated serum urate
concentration without a urate crystal deposition disease
• Urate crystal deposition disease:
– Gout
• Acute gouty arthritis
• Intercritical gout
• Chronic tophaceous gout
– Uric acid renal disease:
• acute hyperuricemic nephropathy
• chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy
• uric acid nephrolithiasis
CLASSIFICATION
Hyperuricemia is generally divided into three
pathophysiologic categories:
– increased uric acid production (overproduction)
– decreased uric acid excretion (underexcretion),
– combined causes
Uric acid
Uric acid
production
excretion
CLASSIFICATION
Underexcretion can result from:
• Decreased glomerular filtration: renal insufficiency
• Decreased tubular secretion occurs in patients with acidosis (the
organic acids that accumulate in these conditions compete with urate for tubular
secretion):
– diabetic ketoacidosis,
– Lactic acidosis
– ethanol intoxication
– salicylate intoxication,
– starvation ketosis
• Enhanced tubular reabsorption
– diuretic therapy, nicotinic acid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, aspirin (low
doses)
– diabetes insipidus
CLASSIFICATION
Overproduction
• Exogenous - diet rich in purines or fructose
• Endogenous - increased purine nucleotide breakdown
– rapid cell proliferation and turnover or cell death
(lymphoproliferative disorders, myeloproliferative disorders,
psoriasis, rhabdomyolysis, cytotoxic therapy)
• Enzymatic defects:
– Lesch-Nyhan syndrome - complete deficiency of hypoxanthine
guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT)
– Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome - partial deficiency of HGPRT
– Increased activity of 5-phospho-alpha-d-ribosyl pyrophosphate
(PRPP) synthetase
CLASSIFICATION
Combined mechanisms
• Alcohol consumption which results in:
– high purine content of some drinks, such as beer
– generation of lactic acid that compete with urate for tubular
secretion
– accelerated hepatic breakdown of ATP
• Obesity
• Fructose raises serum uric acid levels by:
– accentuating degradation of purine nucleotides and
increasing purine synthesis
– decreasing renal uric acid excretion
• Enzymatic defects
– glycogenoses type I (von Gierke disease)
– aldolase-B deficiency
