While PBH is incompletely understood, there is a growing body of research describing the associated factors, mechanisms, and treatment approaches for this condition.Evidence Acquisition: Data are integrated and summarized from studies of individuals affected by PBH and hypoglycemia following upper gastrointestinal surgery obtained from PubMed searches (1990– 2020).Evidence Synthesis: Information addressing etiology, incidence/prevalence, clinical characteristics, assessment, and treatment were reviewed and synthesized for the practicing physician. Literature reports were supplemented by clinical experience as indicated, when published data were not available.Conclusion: PBH can be life-altering and severe for a subset of individuals. Given the chronic nature of this condition, and sequelae of both acute and recurrent episodes, increasing provider awareness of both the condition and associated risk factors is critical for assessment, prompt diagnosis, treatment, and preoperative identification of individuals at risk.Keywords: hypoglycemia, post-bariatric hypoglycemia, upper gastrointestinal surgery, bariatric surgerySheehan APatti MEDove Medical Pressarticlehypoglycemiapost-bariatric hypoglycemiaupper gastrointestinal surgerybariatric surgerySpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 4469-4482 (2020) |
