The use of diazoxide in the management of spontaneous hypoglycemia in patients with ESRD

Although diabetes remains the number one cause of renal failure nationwide, spontaneous hypoglycemia in patients with CKD has also been described in the absence of exogenous insulin or any other diabetes treatment. Decreased renal gluconeogenesis and impaired renal insulin clearance are underlying mechanisms of hypoglycemia in individuals with ESRD. Diazoxide was originally approved as an anti-hypertensive medication, but also is known to bind ATP-sensitive K channels in the beta cells of the pancreas, ultimately leading to inhibition of insulin release. We detail six cases of ESRD-associated hypoglycemia which responded to treatment with diazoxide therapy.
