Hepatomegaly and abnormal liver tests due to glycogenosis in adults with diabetes

Medicine
R Chatila, A B West

Abstract

In adults with diabetes mellitus, hepatomegaly and abnormalities of liver enzymes occur as a consequence of hepatocellular glycogen accumulation, as has been well described in children. During periods of hyperglycemia glucose freely enters the hepatocytes driving glycogen synthesis, which is augmented further by administration of insulin to supraphysiologic levels. The accumulation of excessive amounts of glycogen in the hepatocytes is a function of intermittent episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia and the use of excessive insulin. Hepatic glycogenosis occurs in patients with poorly controlled insulin-dependent type I or type II diabetes. The clinical manifestations of this phenomenon may include abdominal pain and obstructive symptoms such as early satiety, nausea, and vomiting. Ascites has rarely been reported. The typical biochemical findings are mildly to moderately elevated aminotransferases, with or without mild elevations of alkaline phosphatase. Liver synthetic function is usually normal. All these abnormalities, including the hepatomegaly, are readily reversible with sustained euglycemic control. The other major cause of hepatomegaly in patients with diabetes is steatosis. This is a function of the body habitus a...Continue Reading
