Journal of the Endocrine Society · 2022-11
Abstract
Abstract Background Autoimmune dysglycemia syndrome is rare entity that can be induced by drugs or associated with rheumatic diseases. This syndrome includes the insulin autoimmune syndrome caused by anti-insulin antibodies; and type B insulin resistance syndrome caused by anti-insulin receptor antibodies. Patients may present with hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or both. Clinical case A 41-year-old Peruvian woman; pulmonary tuberculosis at age 14. In 2008 she presented polyarthritis, elevated ESR and CRP, she received methotrexate and deflazacort for 3 months, presenting remission and suspending medication. In 2009, she was admitted to the emergency room with seizures that resolved after intravenous administration of 33% dextrose. She was hospitalized for study, during her stay she presented episodes of fasting hypoglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia. She reported hyporexia, weight loss, alopecia, and joint pain. On examination: she presented malar and soft palate erythema, mild pretibial edema. Laboratory tests: fasting blood glucose: 52-69mg/dl, albumin 1,6g/L; fasting insulin: 69.3uIU/mL, C-peptide: 3ng/mL; Anti-insulin antibodies: 4,7 (NV Conclusion Autoimmune conditions could cause dysglycemia mainly through different autoantibodies which may cause hyperglycemia and in rare cases hypoglycemia. This case report emphasizes the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with autoimmune conditions including SLE and ADS. Many of these patients are prompt to develope a new autoimmune disease over time. Presentation: Sunday, June 12, 2022 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
