Inappropriately elevated plasma insulin-like growth factor II in relation to suppressed insulin-like growth factor I in the diagnosis of non-islet cell tumour hypoglycaemia.

The diagnosis of non-islet cell tumour (hypoinsulinaemic) hypoglycamia has been complicated by contradictory biochemical evidence. Although insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) has been identified as the hypoglycaemic agent, plasma levels are often not elevated. In this study specific radioimmunoa... View More
