Overview

Case study details acute hepatitis due to insulin overdose and glucose overload in a child, highlighting hybrid care models.

Key Points

  • Acute hepatitis developed in a 10-year-old with type 1 diabetes due to insulin overdose and glucose administration.
  • Liver function tests showed increased ALT, AST, and GGT levels, indicating liver damage from glycogen accumulation.
  • Monitoring via the hybrid care model effectively normalized the patient's liver enzymes without specific treatment.
  • Awareness of the risk of hepatitis from excessive glucose post-insulin overdose should be raised among endocrinologists.
