Abstract

Standard biochemical studies to rule out Diffuse Hepatopathy are performed in 60 diabetic patients in different grades of compensation, having no previous hepatic disease. In order to determine the degree of glucemic compensation, Glicosilated Haemoglobin A1C was analyzed. None of the studied parameters showed statistical difference between the four studied groups (DID, NIDD, compensated versus non compensated), indicating that the specific diabetic heatopathy does not exist. We conclude that the hepatotrophic effect of insulin could be related to previous hepatic lesiones, having no influence when the liver architecture is preserved.
