Abstract

ABSTRACTPatients with hemoglobin E disease usually have mild hemolytic anemia and mild splenomegaly. Acute infection including acute inflammatory disease of the liver caused by hepatitis A viral, which attacks patients with previous hemolytic anemia, may result in deterioration of anemia.A 17-year-old female patient was admitted with chief complaint of having jaundiced body and non-specific prodromal symptoms within one week prior to admission. Physical examination revealed jaundiced skin and sclera as well as tenderness in right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Laboratory tests revealed microcytic hypochromic anemia with hemoglobin (Hb) level of 6.3 g/dL, increased reticulocyte count and abnormal morphology of erythrocyteson blood smear. Hemoglobin electrophoresis indicated hemoglobin E disease and serologic tests suggested a positive anti-HAV immunoglobulin M (IgM) with increased level of liver enzymes and functions. Abdominal ultrasound showed hepatosplenomegaly without extra-hepatic cholestasis. The working diagnosis was hepatitis A with intrahepatic cholestasis and hemoglobin E disease. The patient was treated with hepatoprotector and ursodeoxycholic acid. Anemia was not treated specifically. It was assumed that hemolytic anemia was worsened by acute infection of hepatitis A viral. The assumption had been proven to be right since there was improvement of anemia after the acute infection had recovered. Patients with hemoglobin E disease usually have mild anemia; however, in this case, the hemoglobin level decreased significantly due to the acute co-infection. Keywords: hemoglobin E disease, anemia, acute infection, acute hepatitis A infection

Abstract

Impaired glucose metabolism can occur in patient with chronic liver disease, either it is impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus (DM). DM due to liver cirrhosis is known as hepatogenous diabetes (HD). HDis different from type 2 DM in clinical signs and management.A 33-year-old female came with chief complaint of fatigue since three days before admission. Patient also complained of nausea, vomiting, and increased abdominal circumference since one year ago. Patient wasdiagnosed with DM two months ago. From physical examination, anemic and ascites without signs of cirrhosis were obtained. Laboratory test showed mild anemia with hemoglobin levels 6.5 g/dL, elevated serum bilirubinand liver enzymes, decreased serum albumin, prolonged prothrombin time and elevated random blood glucose. Serologic test showed chronic hepatitis B with HBV DNA 1.61 x 104 copy/mL. The abdominal ultrasound resultshowed liver cirrhosis with ascites.The patient was diagnosed with hepatogenous diabetes in liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B infection and anemia of chronic disease. The management of this patient was quite complex especially in administrationof oral antidiabetic agent which could affect the liver function.Keywords: hepatogenous diabetes, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic hepatitis B infection
