RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To determine sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical-metabolic, clinical risk factors and comorbidities associated with advanced fibrosis due metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Case-control study. We reviewed 174 medical records of patients with metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo from 2009 to 2018. The cases were patients with advanced fibrosis and controls without fibrosis. The presence of advanced fibrosis was defined by predictive clinical panels and/or liver biopsy result. To determine association, odds ratio, Pearson's chi-square and logistic regression analysis were calculated. RESULTS: An association was found with age > 60 years, a body mass index >= 25 kg/m2, abdominal circumference in men >= 94 cm and abdominal circumference >= 88 cm in women, time of diabetes disease >10 years; chronic microvascular complications; HDL in women < 50 mg/dL, HDL in men < 40 mg/dL and albumin < 3.5 g/dL. About comorbidities were associations with chronic kidney disease and hypertension. After logistic regression analysis, age > 60 years, high body mass index, abdominal circumference in women, low HDL in women, chronic microvascular complications and hypertension remained independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors for advanced fibrosis were age over 60 years, high body mass index, abdominal circumference ≥ 88 cm in women, chronic microvascular complications, low HDL level in women and hypertension as the main comorbidity.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NASH) is widely distributed around the world and is more common in subjects with dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome obese and DM2 (34-74%). However, the prevalence of cirrhosis by NASH in general population is unknown which is still subject of research. OBJECTIVE: To determine if there are significant differences between metabolic parameters of non-alcoholic fatty liver in controlled versus uncontrolled diabetes type 2 of recent diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: retrospective case-control study, performed in the Hospital Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, Lima, Peru from November 2014 to February 2015.This study included 231 patients: 147 patients (NASH with DM2 of recent diagnosis and poor control) and 84 patients (NASH with DM2 ofrecent diagnosis and adequate control). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Levene test for evaluating homogeneity of variances intra groups and parametric test for independent samples. RESULTS: After applying Levene test of homogeneity and student test, significant metabolic parameters were the triglycerides, HbA1C level, metformin dose and gender. CONCLUSIONS: It is important in diabetic patients to diagnose NASH early for a tighter control, not only of glucose but other metabolic parameters mainly triglycerides which strongly supports existing concept of "multiple hits" which considers NASH affects glucose homeostasis, and it could be the starting point of new research to improve interventions for decreasing progression from to cirrhosis in diabetic patients and also to delay progression of diabetes mellitus in patients with non alcoholic steatohepatitis.

RESUMEN El síndrome de la mano diabética es una complicación poco frecuente e infradiagnosticada de la diabetes mellitus. Esta denominación se ha utilizado para describir una infección potencialmente peligrosa en la mano, la cual se caracteriza por la presencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos debilitantes. Su diagnóstico generalmente se realiza en áreas de los trópicos; sin embargo, se han visto casos en áreas no tropicales y urbano-marginales. La fisiopatología de este síndrome aún no está clara, pues, a diferencia del pie diabético, la neuropatía periférica y la enfermedad vascular no parecen desempeñar un papel importante. Existe evidencia de que puede estar asociado a la duración de la diabetes, a un mal control metabólico y a la presencia de complicaciones microvasculares. En este artículo presentamos los casos de dos pacientes con síndrome de mano diabética. El primero se trata de una paciente de 52 años, de zona rural, con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 diagnosticada hace seis años (en mal control metabólico), a quien se le realizó la amputación del cuarto dedo con evolución posoperatoria favorable. El segundo caso es sobre un paciente varón de 60 años, proveniente de una zona urbano-marginal de Lima, con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, quien fue amputado del segundo dedo izquierdo con diagnóstico quirúrgico de necrosis más tenosinovitis. El síndrome de la mano diabética puede tener una importante repercusión clínica y producir una discapacidad permanente. Un diagnóstico precoz mejora el pronóstico, por lo que es importante realizar un examen físico minucioso de las manos en los pacientes con diabetes mellitus.
ABSTRACT Diabetic hand syndrome is a rare and underdiagnosed complication of diabetes mellitus. This term is used to describe a potentially dangerous infection of the hand, characterized by debilitating musculoskeletal disorders. Although the diagnosis is commonly made in tropical regions, cases have also been reported in non-tropical and in marginal urban areas. The pathophysiology of this syndrome remains unclear because, unlike diabetic foot, peripheral neuropathy and vascular disease do not seem to a play major role. Evidence suggests that it may be associated with the duration of diabetes, poor metabolic control and microvascular complications. In this article, we present the cases of two patients with diabetic hand syndrome. The first case involves a 52-year-old female patient from a rural area, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus six years ago, currently in poor metabolic control. She underwent amputation of the fourth finger with a favorable postoperative course. The second case involves a 60-year-old male patient from a marginal urban area in Lima, also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. He underwent amputation of the left second finger with a surgical diagnosis of necrosis and tenosynovitis. Diabetic hand syndrome can have a significant clinical impact and may lead to permanent disability. Early diagnosis improves prognosis, thus the importance of performing thorough physical examinations of the hands in patients with diabetes mellitus.
RESUMO
Objetivo: Determinar la efectividad de la vitamina E en la esteatosis hepática no alcohólica (EHGNA) en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 sin fibrosis avanzada. Materiales y métodos: Estudio analítico de tipo cuasi experimental. Se formaron dos grupos, un grupo experimental que recibió vitamina E de 400 UI además del manejo convencional, y otro grupo de control con manejo convencional. El estudio incluyó a 71 pacientes en cada grupo. Ambos grupos fueron sometidos al cálculo de un puntaje de fibrosis hepática, ecografía hepática y a la medición de la transaminasa glutámico-pirúvica al inicio del estudio y tras 6 meses. Asimismo, para comparar concentraciones de los valores de puntaje de fibrosis y de la transaminasa glutámico-pirúvica dentro de un mismo grupo se empleó la prueba Wilcoxon, y para evaluar diferencias entre el grupo experimental y control se realizó la prueba de U de Mann-Whitney. Para comparar la severidad ecográfica se empleó la prueba de Wilcoxon. Luego se realizó la regresión logística. Se procedió a registrar la información en una ficha de recolección de datos haciendo uso del programa Microsoft Excel, posteriormente, se procedió a codificar y generar una base de datos con el paquete estadístico SPSS v. 23. Resultados: Dentro de los resultados se halló que la vitamina E fue efectiva en reducir el puntaje fibrosis hepática, transaminasas y severidad ecográfica en forma significativa (Z = -4,727 y p < 0,05). De acuerdo al análisis de regresión lineal el nivel de TGP y de score de fibrosis no son explicados significativamente por las variables confusoras incluidas en el modelo al 95 % de confianza. Conclusiones: La vitamina E a una dosis de 400 UI vía oral durante 6 meses es una intervención efectiva para controlar la progresión de la hepatopatía que puede cuantificarse mediante puntaje de fibrosis, disminución de transaminasas y valoración ecográfica tras 6 meses de seguimiento.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of vitamin E in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among type 2 diabetes patients without advanced fibrosis. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental analytical study consisting of two groups: an experimental one, which received vitamin E 400 IU in addition to the standard treatment, and a control group, which received only the standard treatment. The study included 71 patients in each group. Both groups underwent liver fibrosis scoring, liver ultrasound and glutamate pyruvate transaminase measurement at study baseline and after six months. Moreover, the Wilcoxon test was used to compare the concentrations of fibrosis score and glutamate pyruvate transaminase values within the same group, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to evaluate the differences between the experimental and control groups. The Wilcoxon test was also used to compare ultrasound severity. Then, a logistic regression analysis was performed. The information was entered into a data collection sheet using Microsoft Excel; afterwards, a database was coded and created using IBM SPSS Statistics statistical software 23.0. Results: Among the results, it was found that vitamin E was significantly effective in reducing liver fibrosis, transaminase and ultrasound severity scores (Z = -4.727 and p < 0.05). According to the logistic regression analysis, glutamate pyruvate transaminase levels and fibrosis score are not substantially explained by the confounding variables included in the model at 95 % confidence. Conclusions: Vitamin E at a dose of 400 IU given orally for six months is an effective intervention to control the progression of liver disease, which can be quantified by fibrosis score, transaminase reduction and ultrasound assessment after a 6-month follow-up.
RESUMO
Determinar factores de riesgo sociodemográficos, antropométricos, bioquímico-metabólicos, clínicos y comorbilidades asociadas a fibrosis avanzada por enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Estudio de casos y controles. Se revisaron 174 historias clínicas de pacientes con enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 atendidos en el Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo de 2009 a 2018. Los casos fueron pacientes con fibrosis avanzada y los controles sin fibrosis. La presencia de fibrosis avanzada fue definida por paneles clínicos predictores y/o resultado de biopsia hepática. Para determinar asociación se calculó odds ratio, chi cuadrado de Pearson y análisis de regresión logística. Se encontró asociación con edad > 60 años, un índice de masa corporal ≥ 25 kg/m2 , perímetro abdominal en varones ≥ 94 cm y perímetro abdominal ≥ 88 cm en mujeres, tiempo de enfermedad de diabetes > 10 años; complicaciones crónicas microvasculares; HDL en mujeres 60 años, índice de masa corporal elevado, perímetro abdominal en mujeres, HDL bajo en mujeres, complicaciones crónicas microvasculares e hipertensión. Se encontraron como factores de riesgo de fibrosis avanzada, edad mayor a 60 años, índice de masa corporal elevado, perímetro abdominal ≥ 88 cm en mujeres, complicaciones crónicas microvasculares, nivel bajo de HDL en mujeres e hipertensión arterial como principal comorbilidad.

RESUMO
La hipoglucemia posterior la desviación gástrica se caracteriza por hipoglucemia posprandial con hipertrofia de las células de los islotes pancreáticos en pacientes tras someterse a una cirugía bariátrica, en quienes la EHGNA, la obesidad y la secreción alterada de la insulina y del glucagón pueden predisponerlos a presentar hipoglucemia. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 44 años con obesidad y EHGNA sometida a una desviación gástrica en Y de Roux, quien años después presentó hipoglucemia severa. Fue diagnosticada de hipoglicemia por hiperinsulinismo endógeno con histología de hiperplasia de células beta. La hipoglicemia posterior a una desviación gástrica es un escenario que se afrontará más a menudo, por tal razón, es importante tenerla en cuenta para un tratamiento oportuno.
Post-gastric bypass hypoglycemia is characterized by postprandial hypoglycemia with pancreatic islet-cell hypertrophy in patients who have undergone a bariatric surgery and may be prone to hypoglycemia due to NAFLD, obesity, and impaired insulin and glucagon secretion. We present the case of a 44-year-old obese woman with NAFLD who underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and years later presented with severe hypoglycemia. She was diagnosed with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and beta-cell hyperplasia. Post-gastric bypass hypoglycemia is a scenario that will be faced more often; therefore, it is important to take it into account for a timely treatment.
RESUMO
La esteatosis hepática no alcohólica (EHNA) está ampliamente distribuida a nivel mundial y es más frecuente en sujetos con dislipidemia, síndrome metabólico, obesos y con DM2 (34-74%). Sin embargo, la prevalencia de cirrosis por EHNA en la población general no se conoce, lo que es aún materia de investigación en nuestro medio. Objetivo: Determinar si existe diferencia significativa entre los parámetros metábólicos de esteatosis hepática no alcohólica en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 de reciente diagnóstico controlados y no controlados. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de tipo caso control, realizado en el Hospital Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, Lima - Perú, durante los meses de noviembre de 2014 a febrero de 2015. Constó de231 pacientes: 147 pacientes con DM2 de diagnóstico reciente con mal control glicémico y EHNA y 84 pacientes con DM2 de diagnóstico reciente con adecuado control y EHNA. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó las pruebas de Levene para evaluar homogenidad de varianzas intragrupos y prueba paramétrica de t de student para muestras independientes. Resultados: Luego de aplicar la prueba de homogeneidad de Levene y el t de student para igualdad de medias los parámetros metabólicos significativos fueron el nivel de triglicéridos, el nivel de HbA1C, la dosis de metformina y el género. Conclusiones: Es importante en pacientes diabéticos diagnosticar EHGNA en forma temprana para un control más estricto, no sólo de la glucosa sérica sino de otros parámetros metabólicos, principalmente, los triglicéridos lo cual apoya fuertemente el concepto existente de "múltiples hits " que considera que la EHGNA afecta la homeostasis de la glucosa, y podría ser el punto de partida de nuevas investigaciones que permitan mejorar las intervenciones para reducir la progresión de la cirrosis en pacientes diabéticos y también retrasar la progresión de la diabetes mellitus en pacientes con esteatohepatitis no alcohólica.
