Abstract

Background: hypocalcemia is a common metabolic problem in neonates and infants that can be life threatening. The incidence of hypocalcemia leads to complications and developmental disorders in children. Case presentations: A 1 month-old boy with hypovitaminosis D and a history of recurrent hypocalcemia since one week of age. The patient had repeated seizures at the age of 7 days without fever and hypoglycemia, the overall physical examination was within normal, the results of the lumbar puncture were within normal limits. Laboratory examinations at that time showed low of serum calcium, urinary calcium, calcium ion and vitamin D levels, while magnesium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were within normal limits. The patient was diagnosed with late onset hypocalcemia caused by hypovitaminosis D. The patient was given vitamin D therapy, calcium lactate, and intravena calcium correction was performed. Conclusion: late onset hypocalcemia occurring after the first 7 days of life was associated with hyperparathyroidism, high phosphate formula administration, DiGeorge syndrome, hypomagnesemia, and vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract

Background. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease requiring lifelong treatment. Good metabolic control could maintain an optimal quality of life. HbA1C is a reliable parameter of metabolic control. Poor metabolic control results in decreased quality of life for T1DM. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between metabolic control status and quality of life in children with T1DM at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods. This cross-sectional study on 52 T1DM children aged 8–16 years using consecutive sampling methods at the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic, Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang, from April-September 2021. HbA1C was calculated using the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method and classified into good and poor control. Quality of life was assessed using PedsQl 4.0 and classified as impaired and unimpaired. The Chi-square test was used for data analysis. The P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. The majority of respondents were girls (57.7%), and most of them had good nutritional status (73.1%). The mean age at diagnosis was 11.21±2.57 years, and they had suffered from T1DM for 2.21±1.28 years. A family history of diabetes was found in 57.7% of respondents. Complications found were hypoglycemia (19.2%) and diabetic ketoacidosis (50%). Poor metabolic control was found in 78.8% of respondents. Quality of life was impaired in 40.4% of respondents, especially in school functions. This study found that respondents with impaired quality of life had poor metabolic status (p<0.034). Conclusion. T1DM patients with poor metabolic control status have impaired quality of life.

Abstract

Background. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease causing the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. This is an incurable condition, but with good metabolic control, an optimal quality of life can be achieved. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) is still considered a reliable parameter of metabolic control. Studies showed vitamin D has a role in controlling glycemic homeostasis in children with T1DM. Calcidiol or 25-(OH)D is the best parameter to determine the level of vitamin D in the blood. This study aimed to evaluate the association between 25-(OH)D with metabolic control status in T1DM children at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 43 pediatric patients with T1DM from July 2019-January 2021. Serum levels of 25-(OH)D were measured by direct CLIA method and classified into deficiency (≤ 20 ng/mL) and insufficiency (21–30 ng/mL). The HbA1C levels were calculated using the HPLC method and classified into good (<7%), adequate (7-8%), and poor (>8%) control. The Chi-square test and ANOVA were used for data analysis. The P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. The majority of respondents were girls (53.5%), with 90.7% having a good nutritional status. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.25±2.85 years, and had been known to suffer from T1DM for 2.95±1.74 years. All respondents had abnormal levels of 25-(OH)D (100%), i.e., insufficiency (28%), deficiency (72%), poor (65.1%) metabolic control, and 96.4% of respondents with poor metabolic control had a deficiency of 25-(OH)D. (P-value <0.001). Conclusion. T1DM patients who have poor metabolic control have very low levels of 25-(OH)D.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder that can cause many complications. HbA1c measurement can help monitor long-term serum glucose regulation. Microalbuminuria in DM patients is a risk factor for these complications, so evaluation of risk factors for prevention is necessary. This study aimed to determine the relationship between metabolic control status and microalbuminuria in pediatric diabetes mellitus patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 34 children with DM aged 1-18 years participated in this study. Sampling was carried out using the consecutive sampling method at the pediatric polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia, from November 2021-April 2022. Metabolic control status was assessed by measuring HbA1C levels and microalbuminuria by measuring the urine albumin-creatinine ratio. Data analysis used the Chi-square test, with a p-value <0.05. Results: The average respondent was 13.2 ± 3.3 years old with a duration of suffering from DM 2.5 ± 2 years. Most of the respondents were male (52.9%), suffered from type 1 DM (94.1%), had uncontrolled metabolic control status (82.3%), had a normal creatine albumin ratio (82.4%), never had diabetic ketoacidosis (79.4%), had no family history of DM (85.3%) and had normal blood pressure (94.1%). It is known that the average urea and creatinine are within normal limits. The average HbA1c value is 11.9 ± 3.39%. The median urine creatine albumin ratio was 7.98 (0-255.74) ug/mg. Microalbuminuria in uncontrolled metabolic control status was found in as much as 17.6%, whereas in controlled metabolic control status, no microalbuminuria was found. Statistically, there is no significant relationship (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is no relationship between metabolic control status and microalbuminuria in pediatric diabetes mellitus patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes insipidus (DI) is part of a group of hereditary or acquired polyuria and polydipsia diseases. Diabetes insipidus can be caused by central and nephrogenic disorders. This study aimed to describe the etiologies, clinical symptoms, and management of central diabetes insipidus in Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Case presentation: A 4 years 4 months old boy came with excessive and frequent micturition since 9 months ago. The patient drinks 4-5 L per day and still feels thirsty. The patient had a history of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). During laboratory work-up, urine osmolarity decreased, and serum osmolarity and electrolyte were normal. The patient was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus with Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The treatment given to the patient is desmopressin. Conclusion: Langerhans cell histiocytosis may affect any organs of the body. The long-term management of diabetes insipidus in Langerhans cell histiocytosis requires measurement to prevent dehydration and, at the same time to prevent water intoxication. The focus of management is based on the education of the patient about the importance of regulating their fluid intake according to the patient’s hydration status.
