Idiopathic hypoglycemia is, literally, a medical condition in which the glucose level in the blood blood glucose is abnormally low due to an undeterminable cause. This is considered an incomplete and unsatisfactory medical diagnosis diagnosis by physicians and is rarely used by endocrinologist s, as it implies an unfinished diagnostic evaluation. In general, the more severe the hypoglycemia and the more clearly it is proven, the less likely it is to remain idiopathic . Idiopathic hypoglycemia can also be a synonym for reactive hypoglycemia or for hypoglycemia that is not diagnosed by a physician and does not fulfill the Whipple triad criteria. A more precise term for that condition is idiopathic postprandial syndrome .

Median age from the time the disease is diagnosed to the time of death is approximately 6 months. 90 of patient are either dead by the end of 1 year or have received a heart transplant. Diagnosis is made by endomyocardial biopsy during heart catheterization. Biopsy shows multinucleate giant cells and thus the name. There is no treatment except for heart transplantation.
