Prevalence of liver disorders in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Liver disorders in patients with T1DM are not as rare as previously thought, and glycogenic hepatopathy is the most common. A combination of liver enzymes and a liver ultrasound exam is a good initial screening and follow-up method for the evaluation of liver disorders. MRI represents a good non-invasive tool for the distinction between glycogen and fat accumulation, and might postpone liver biopsy beyond initial workup.
