    Transient neonatal hypoglycemia is the most common type and is usually detected through screening of high-risk infants, such as those born prematurely, experiencing fetal distress, or who are small or large for their gestational age. Persistent neonatal hypoglycemia lasts longer than 3 days and can be caused by conditions like hyperinsulinism from islet cell hyperplasia or Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, inborn errors of carbohydrate or amino acid metabolism, or hormone deficiencies in growth hormone or cortisol.

    Neonatal hypoglycemia

    1.Transient (most common)


    2.Persistenet (less common)

    Transient neonatal hypoglycemia


    is usually detected by screening protocols
    established for high-risk infants.
    A. High-risk conditions associated
    with inadequate substrate include
    1.prematurity
    2.history of perinatal asphyxia or fetal
    distress
    3.small-for-gestational age (SGA)
    4. large-for-gestational age (LGA) infants.

    b. High-risk conditions
    associated with inappropriate
    hyperinsulinism include
    1.

    SGA infants

    2.infants of diabetic mothers.

    2. Persistent neonatal hypoglycemia


    is defined as hypoglycemia that persists for
    longer
    than 3 days.
    a. Hyperinsulinism, which may be caused by:
    1. Islet cell hyperplasia (nesidioblastosis)
    2. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: Patients are
    LGA and present with visceromegaly,
    hemihypertrophy, macroglossia, umbilical hernias,
    and distinctive ear creases.

    b. Hereditary defects
    in carbohydrate metabolism (e.g.,
    glycogen storage disease type I and
    galactosemia)
    amino acid metabolism (e.g., maple
    syrup urine disease, methylmalonic
    acidemia and tyrosinemia)

    c. Hormone deficiencies,
    including
    growth hormone deficiency
    Cortisol deficiency. (Pearl: Congenital
    hypopituitarism should be suspected
    in the neonate who presents with
    hypoglycemia, microphallus, and
    midline defects such as a cleft
    palate.)
