Neonatal Hypoglycaemia – What’s Known and What’s New

12 Mar 2020 by

Hypoglycaemia is one of the most common clinical issues facing newborn babies. It can be caused by abnormalities in the glycogen stores, alternative substrates, and/or functioning enzymes. The definition of neonatal hypoglycaemia itself remains challenging. Understanding normal glucose physiology and biochemistry is important so that the neonatologist can initiate appropriate investigations to elucidate an aetiology and institute correct management. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of hypoglycaemia will reduce the risk of brain injury to the developing child.
