Popis: | Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and is characterized by elevated liver enzymes, hepatomegaly, and glycogen accumulation. We herein present the case of a 23-year-old man with poorly controlled T1DM who had liver dysfunction. Imaging studies showed severe hepatomegaly and fatty liver. The examination of a liver biopsy specimen revealed fatty droplets, ballooning, inflammation, and mild fibrosis. Subsequent periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining after diastase digestion confirmed GH. In this case, the improvement of hyperglycemia, not HbA1c, resulted in the improvement of the patient's liver function. This is the first report on the use of continuous glucose monitoring in patients with GH to show that continuous hyperglycemia may worsen GH. |
