Objective: To evaluate (i) the prevalence and association of euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) [decreased FT3 and/or FT4 and normal/decreased TSH] with severity indexes of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) onset such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and kidney damage [acute kidney injury (AKI) based on KDIGO criteria, acute tubular necrosis (ATN), renal tubular damage (RTD)], (ii) relationship between clinical/metabolic parameters at T1DM onset and thyroid hormones, and (iii) ESS as a prognostic indicator of delayed recovery from kidney damage.
Methods: A total of 161 children with T1DM onset were included. RTD was defined by abnormal urinary beta-2-microglobulin and/or neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and/or tubular reabsorption of phosphate <85% and/or fractional excretion of Na>2%. ATN was defined by RTD+AKI.
Results: Of 161 participants, 60 (37.3%) presented ESS. It was more prevalent in case of more severe T1DM presentation both in terms of metabolic derangement (DKA) and kidney function impairment (AKI, RTD and ATN). Only ATN, however, was associated with ESS at adjusted analysis. FT3 inversely correlated with serum triglycerides and creatinine, and urinary calcium/creatinine ratio and NGAL. Participants with euthyroidism showed earlier recovery from AKI than those with ESS. ESS spontaneously disappeared.
Conclusions: ESS is associated with T1DM onset severity and spontaneously disappears. ESS delayed the recovery from AKI.
Impact: This is the first longitudinal study describing in detail the relationship between clinical/metabolic factors at type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) onset and thyroid hormones, with particular attention to the relationship between diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-related kidney function impairment and euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS). Participants with more severe T1DM onset presentation both in terms of metabolic derangement and kidney function impairment had an increased prevalence of ESS. Children with ESS had a slower recovery from acute kidney injury compared with those without ESS. ESS spontaneously disappeared in all participants.

Use of immunomodulating agents to prevent the progression of autoimmune β-cell damage leading to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an interesting area for research. These include non-specific anti-inflammatory agents, immunologic vaccination and anti-inflammatory agents targeting specific immune cells or cytokines. Teplizumab is an anti-CD3-molecule that binds to and leads to the disappearance of the CD3/TCR complex and rendering the T cell anergic to its target antigen.

Objectives: The association of celiac disease (CD) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is well-established, yet variation exists in screening practices. This study measures the accuracy of early screening with tissue transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A (TTG-IgA) and endomysial antibody (EMA) in newly diagnosed T1DM.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of children with T1DM between 2013 and 2019 with early CD screening and follow-up.

Objectives: To assess factors associated with serum phosphorus (P) and hypophosphatemia in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treated for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Setting: Community-based PICU in a university-affiliated hospital.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between cutaneous microcirculation reactivity, retinal circulation, macrocirculation function, and specific adhesion molecules in young patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes. Fifty-five patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), aged 8 to 18 years, were divided into subgroups based on skin microcirculation reactivity. The cutaneous microcirculatory vessels were considered reactive if post-test PORH coverage increased compared to pre-test coverage.

Purpose: To explore the longitudinal changes in retinal and choroidal thickness and their relation with the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children.
Methods: Thirty-eight children with T1DM and 71 healthy controls were included in this 3-year longitudinal study. Ophthalmic and systemic examinations were conducted on each participant.
