AI Article Synopsis

  • The review talks about how liver problems (like cirrhosis) can lead to a type of diabetes called hepatogenous diabetes (HD).
  • It shows how the body’s use of insulin and sugar is messed up in both cirrhosis and type II diabetes, hinting that they may have similar causes.
  • Finally, it stresses the importance of figuring out and treating these issues in patients with liver cirrhosis to help them stay healthy.

Article Abstract

The review focused mainly on the pathogenesis of hepatogenous diabetes (HD) in liver cirrhosis (LC). This review reveals parallels between the mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction observed in LC and type II diabetes (T2DM), suggesting a shared pathway leading to HD. It underscores the role of insulin in HD pathogenesis, highlighting key factors such as insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance (IR), and the influence of adipocytes. Furthermore, the impact of adipose tissue accumulation, fatty acid metabolism, and pro-inflammatory cytokines like Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on IR are discussed in the context of HD. Altered signaling pathways, disruptions in the endocrine system, liver inflammation, changes in muscle mass and composition, and modifications to the gut microbiota collectively contribute to the complex interplay linking cirrhosis and HD. This study highlights how important it is to identify and treat this complex condition in cirrhotic patients by thoroughly analyzing the link between cirrhosis, IR, and HD. It also emphasizes the vitality of targeted interventions. Cellular and molecular investigations into IR have revealed potential therapeutic targets for managing and preventing HD.

Aim: Hepatogenous diabetes (HD) is frequently underestimated among cirrhosis patients. The current study assessed the magnitude, clinical characteristics, and implications of HD in cirrhosis patients as compared to the patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-diabetes (ND) cirrhosis.

Methods: In a prospective observational study, 338 consecutive eligible cirrhosis patients were screened for diabetes mellitus.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatogenous diabetes (HD) is a disorder related to glycogen metabolism, commonly seen in patients with cirrhosis due to chronic liver disease.* -
  • Patients with HD face a poor prognosis and are at increased risk for serious complications like gastrointestinal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy, as their condition often worsens along with cirrhosis.* -
  • Despite the severity of HD, there is currently no established treatment strategy, prompting this paper to review recent advancements in treatment options to enhance patient outcomes.*

Background And Aim: Disorders of glucose metabolism, such as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes mellitus (DM), frequently occur in cirrhosis. We aimed to evaluate who needs to be undertaken a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to find underlying subclinical diabetes.

Methods: This prospective study included 713 patients with either compensated (Child-Turcotte-Pugh [CTP] class A) or decompensated cirrhosis (CTP class B/C) without previous DM history.

In view of the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with liver cirrhosis and the increasing trend of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated cirrhosis, the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus in patients with liver cirrhosis are becoming widespread concerns. Therefore, the Chronic Disease Management Branch, China Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Association, organized multidisciplinary experts from gastroenterology, infective disease, endocrinology, etc, to draw up expert consensus on the management of diabetes mellitus in patients with liver cirrhosis, with focusing on the classification and management of hyperglycemia in cirrhotic patients. The consensus summarizes the prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical setting and prognosis of the concomitant diabetes mellitus in patients with liver cirrhosis, and definitely puts forward a proposal regarding "hepatogenous diabetes" as one of the four subtypes of diabetes mellitus in cirrhotic patients, and further recommends the basic principles for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus and the selection of antidiabetic drugs based on liver functions in patients with liver cirrhosis.
