To read the full abstract: J Am Soc Nephrol. 2017 Aug;28(8):2529-2539The association of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) and polycystic kidneys has not been reported before. Here, the authors studied 17 patients from 11 different families and found that all patients had a combination HH and polycystic kidneys. The HH was mild and some patients required diazoxide therapy. In contrast the poly...
