Congenital Hyperinsulinism clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a condition that causes low blood sugar. UCSF is conducting a study using 18FluoroLDOPA PET imaging to detect and locate this condition. This test is done before surgery to help doctors plan the operation.
Showing trials for
18FluoroLDOPA PET Imaging for the Detection and Localization of Focal Congenital Hyperinsulinism
open to eligible people ages up to 18 years
The goal of this project is to determine the role of FDOPA/PET as a pre-operative diagnostic imaging procedure for differentiating focal and diffuse forms of congenital hyperinsulinism and locating focal lesions in the pancreas to guide surgical resection.
