Twenty five yrs old male patient had sweating, palpitations and found to have blood sugar of 45 mg/dl. Multiple similar episodes had been recorded in the past, corrected with glucose. Nurse caring for this patient should consider which one of the following diagnosis? Correct Answer Insulinoma

Concept:

  • Insulinomas are tumours in the pancreas. They make extra insulin, more than a person's body can use.
  • Insulinomas can cause either hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
  • Low blood sugar can leads to confusion, sweating, weakness, and palpitation.
  • If blood sugar gets too low, a person can go into a coma as well.

Risk Factors of Insulinoma

  • Some genetic diseases like:
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, abnormal tissue growth in the endocrine system
  • Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an inherited disease that causes tumours and cysts throughout your body
  • Other genetic syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 and tuberous sclerosis

Mostly the insulinomas are non-cancerous and surgeons can remove them if required.
