Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (hereinafter, the diagnostic criteria apply) A definitive diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is made when a blood sample taken when blood glucose is 1 micro U/mL Criterion 2: Blood glucose rise >30 mg/dL (15-45 minutes) with intramuscular injection (IV) of glucagon 0.5-1 mg Criterion 3: Intravenous glucose infusion dose to maintain euglycemia (mg/kg/min) >7 (under 6 months of age), 3-7 (over 6 months of age), >3 (adults) [Supplemental Findings] Blood 3-hydroxybutyrate (beta-hydroxybutyrate) <2 mmol/L (2000 micro mol/L) Blood free fatty acids (FFA, NEFA) <1.5 mmol/L (1.5 mEq/L) 2. Patients whose blood glucose control is unstable with diazoxide monotherapy 3. Patients with identified pathogenic polymorphisms in KATP-related genes (ABCC8, KCNJ11) 4. Patients aged 0 to 15 years at the time of consent 5. Patients for whom written consent has been obtained from the patient or guardian to participate in this clinical study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The accuracy of 18F-DOPA PET/CT for the localization of diazoxide-unrefractory congenital hyperinsulinemia was evaluated using the final diagnosis based on secondary information obtained from clinical follow-up observations for 6 months from the day of first administration (Day 0), i.e., after localization diagnosis, as the reference standard

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Sensitivity 2. Specificity 3. Negative Predictive Value 4. Positive Predictive Value 5. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) 6. Quality of Life (PedsQL) 7. Genetic Testing and Consistency Assessment 8. Incidence of adverse events and malfunctions
