Subclinical hyperthyroidism – a milder form – is defined as a low or suppressed TSH (<0.4 mIU/l), but serum free T4 (FT4) and free T3 (FT3) within the reference interval.Case: 76 years old lady seen in endocrine clinic.

Background: Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia due to nesidioblastosis is a significant and debilitating complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). There is growing evidence suggesting this is due to increased incretin hormones secretion. Nesidioblastosis can be difficult to manage with variable response to different pharmacological therapies and some requiring partial/total pancreatectomy or revision of bypass surgery pouch. We present a patient who ...

His serumbiochemistry showed persistently elevated Oestradiol and prolactin, with low testosterone and FSH. On physical examination, he had marked breast tenderness, bilateral gynecomastia and no signs of steroid excess. He reported a decline in ...
