# Glycogenic Hepatopathy: A Case Report of an Underdiagnosed Complication of Poorly Controlled Diabetes Mellitus

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of glycogenic hepatopathy in a teenage girl with poorly managed type 1 diabetes.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in highlighting glycogenic hepatopathy as an underdiagnosed complication in adolescents with T1DM.

## Key findings

- Glycogenic hepatopathy can present with hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes.
- Poorly controlled T1DM in adolescents may lead to this rare hepatic complication.

## Abstract

Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare yet important complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), especially type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It presents with hepatomegaly, abdominal pain and elevated liver enzymes. Here, we present a case of GH in a 14‐year‐old girl with poorly controlled T1DM.
