Eligibility
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
| Measure | Time 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 | — |
