Hepatomegaly, Elevated Hepatic Enzymes, and Bridging Fibrosis in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Glycogenic hepatopathy is a rare but reversible condition that includes acute liver dysfunction and hepatomegaly. This occurs due to excessive glycogen accumulation in the hepatocytes. It can occur in patients with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus. We are reporting a case of a 17-year-old...

Zusammenfassung:Glycogenic hepatopathy is a rare but reversible condition that includes acute liver dysfunction and hepatomegaly. This occurs due to excessive glycogen accumulation in the hepatocytes. It can occur in patients with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus. We are reporting a case of a 17-year-old girl who developed liver dysfunction following admission with diabetic ketoacidosis. Ultrasound abdomen confirmed hepatomegaly. However, with improvement in her metabolic control, her liver enzymes and hepatomegaly improved.
