Disorder of Glucose Metabolism and Therapy: Implications on the Natural History of Advanced Chronic Liver Disease
DGM occurs with high prevalence in patients with ACLD and it seems to be related to more hospitalizations, which highlights the importance of its early identification and appropriate therapeutic approach. In the absence of contraindications, biguanides should be considered for treatment of patients with ACLD and DGM as they appear to be associated with a tendency to better outcomes and may present some advantage in terms of survival.
