Glycogen hepatopathy in type-1 diabetes mellitus: A case report

Abstract BACKGROUND: It has been studied that fluctuating glucose levels may superimpose glycated hemoglobin in determining the risk for diabetes mellitus (DM) complications. While non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains a predominant cause of elevated transaminases in Type 2 DM due to a strong underplay of metabolic syndrome, Type 1 DM can contrastingly affect the liver in a direct, benign, and reversible manner, causing Glycogen hepatopathy (GH) – with a good prognosis. CASE SUMMARY: A 50-year-old female with history of poorly controlled
