A Case of End-stage Renal Disease in Which Diazoxide was Effective in Treating Hypoglycemia Caused by Late Dumping Syndrome after Gastrectomy.

We herein report a case in which diazoxide was effective in treating reactive hypoglycemia caused by late dumping syndrome in a patient with ESRD. A 50-year-old man with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and a history of gastrectomy underwent hemodialysis. Although he was administered voglibose to treat recurrent reactive hypoglycemia caused by late dumping syndrome, he had difficulty continuing treatment because of gastrointestinal side effects. When he began diazoxide treatment, the reactive hypoglycemia improved. The dose was gradually increased with no apparent side effects, and the hypoglycemic attacks disappeared one year after the start of treatment.
