Article Synopsis
- * The research included 115 T1DM patients and assessed their dietary habits, abdominal symptoms, and serum anti-tissue transglutaminase (TTG) antibody levels to diagnose CD.
- * Results showed that 50.4% of patients reported abdominal symptoms, but none had elevated TTG levels, leading to the conclusion that the prevalence of CD in Japanese patients with T1DM is 0%, indicating a lower occurrence than seen in other countries.
The patient was a 67-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The administration of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, ipragliflozin improved her liver dysfunction clinically and histologically. The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and ferritin levels decreased to normal limits after treatment for four months.
