Characteristics of pancreatic diabetes in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis

摘要: OBJECTIVE:  Although patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) tend to have concurrent diverse disorders, very few studies focused on diabetes mellitus (DM) coexisting AIP. METHODS:  In total 102 AIP DM were divided into three groups. Those before the onset of labeled group A (n = 35), those who developed and simultaneously B (n = 58) after steroid therapy for C (n = 9). The characteristics among groups evaluated. RESULTS:  No significant differences noted in age However, mean duration was significantly longer (8.7 years) than C. 6.8 years A, whereas it 1.8 Group had highest rate (25.7%) family members a history AIP. Levels serum albumin, cholesterol triglyceride lower A. correlations found between glycated hemoglobin benzoyl-tyrosyl para-aminobenzoic acid. Hypoglycemia observed 20% under insulin therapy. Most them habitual drinkers received no pancreatic enzymes. showed high prevalence retinopathy, nephropathy macrovascular disorders B. CONCLUSION:  Aspects AIP-associated clarified. must be controlled by full assessment endocrine exocrine function.
