Glycogenic Hepatopathy: Resolution with Minimal Glucose Control
We describe a presentation of glycogenic hepatopathy in a poorly controlled type I diabetic patient. As patients with glycogenic hepatopathy often have nonspecific complaints, diagnosis tends to be delayed and laboratory and imaging data are often indistinguishable from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Our patient's diagnosis of glycogenic hepatopathy required a liver biopsy, which demonstrate...

This is also complicated by the fact that both entities are indistinguishable on liver ultrasound. We herein describe a similar predicament in which a young adult f...
