Severe hypoglycemia associated with insulin-like growth factor II-producing liver metastasis from gastric carcinoma treated with overnight total parenteral nutrition via a central vein catheter reserve port

Abstract: Hypoglycemia caused by insulin-like growth factor II is difficult to control. A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with gastric cancer and multiple liver metastases in September 2006 and underwent chemotherapy; however, at that time there were no symptoms of hypoglycemia. From January 2007 onwards, hypoglycemic comas and symptoms of hypoglycemia began to appear frequently. Her serum level of insulin was normal; thus, we suspected the presence of big insulin-like growth factor II was causing the hypoglycemia. This… Show more

“…Parenteral nutrition is often used for tumor patients who cannot eat or have insufficient food intake and for those who experience adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, leading to malnutrition. These patients often have hypovolemia, and the infusion of high-concentration nutrients will further increase blood viscosity[ 13 ]. Increased blood viscosity slows blood flow and increases the risk of thrombosis formation.…”

“…The levels of glucose regulatory hormones were then obtained retrospectively from the medical records of the patients. The levels of glucose-related hormones in 15 patients with IGF-II producing NICTH were also reviewed from case reports published in Japan after 2005 [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. IGF-II analysis of patients in these case reports was also performed at the authors' institutions.…”
