Experience of Octreotide Therapy for Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia in Neonates Born Small for Gestational Age: A Case Series.

Abstract:

AIMS:Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is common in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates. Diazoxide is often used as the first-line medication for HH in SGA neonates. Unfortunately, diazoxide is not authorized in China. We examined the effectiveness of octreotide as an alternative therapy to treat HH in SGA neonates. There is limited data on the use of octreotide in HH of SGA neonates. METHODS:Seven SGA neonates with HH who were admitted to the Department of Neonatology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2013 and December 2014 received octreotide at an initial dose of 5 μg/kg/day through subcutaneous injection at 8-hour intervals. Depending on the glycemic control, the dose of octreotide was increased in increments of 2-5 μg/kg/day every 3-5 days to the maximum dose of 30 μg/kg/day. RESULTS:The age of neonates with HH diagnosis ranged from 1 to 4 days. The maximum dose of octreotide ranged from 8 to 18 μg/kg/day. The duration of octreotide therapy ranged from 9 to 45 days. All patients had a clear glycemic response to octreotide, and no major adverse events were observed during the treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Octreotide may be a useful alternative therapy in HH of SGA neonates when diazoxide is unavailable.
