Abstract
Persistent hypoglycemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to self-regulate serum glycemia after 72 hours of life secondary to a wide range of pathologies, among which are metabolic alterations secondary to maternal pathologies such as intrauterine growth restriction , inborn errors of metabolism such as glycogen storage disorders and alterations in counterregulatory hormones such as growth hormone deficiency. Its diagnosis denotes a challenge because sometimes patients do not present clinical manifestations or these are nonspecific. The critical sample, a set of serum labs taken in the period of hypoglycemia, allows the rapid identification of the most common causative pathologies that require some specific treatment. A narrative review of the most common pathologies associated with persistent hypoglycemia and the usefulness of critical care in its diagnosis is carried out.
