Hypoglycemia, especially when recurrent or persistent, is an important indicator of inborn metabolic errors. Although commonly encountered by hepatologists, it continues to be a pandora's box as no consensus on the exact definition and diagnostic work up exists. Here, we present four interesting pediatric cases of varied age groups, presenting with hypoglycemia as their major symptomatology. We also attempted to provide a systematic diagnostic guide for a refined and targeted approach to inherited metabolic liver diseases presenting with hypoglycemia.
低血糖,尤其是反复发生或持续存在时,是先天性代谢缺陷的重要指标。尽管肝病学家经常遇到这种情况,但它仍然是一个潘多拉魔盒,因为对于确切的定义和诊断检查尚无共识。在此,我们展示了四个不同年龄组的有趣儿科病例,均以低血糖为主要症状。我们还试图为以低血糖为表现的遗传性代谢性肝病提供一种系统的诊断指南,以采取精确且有针对性的方法。
