Glycogen Hepatopathy: A Rare and Underrecognized Cause of Recurrent Transaminitis in Patients with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

We present the case of a 54-year-old woman with poorly controlled insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes who was hospitalized twice within 1 month with diabetic ketoacidosis/hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state and reversible transaminitis. Interestingly, she had normal liver function tests performed at the time of admission and transaminitis was noted 1 day later, after she was treated with high doses of intravenous insulin therapy. Subsequently, liver enzymes recovered to normal levels with optimization of glucose control.Case Rep Gastroenterol 2018;12:466 –472
