Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund: Patienten mit Leberzirrhose entwickeln häufig Störungen des Glukosemetabolismus wie Glukoseintoleranz oder einen hepatogenen Diabetes, welche neben der hepatozellulären Funktionseinschränkung durch die ausgeprägte Insulinresistenz als Folge der chronischen Lebererkrankung verursacht sind. Diskussion: Empfehlungen mit Leitliniencharakter zur Diagnostik und Therapie des hepatogenen Diabetes fehlen bislang. Im Hinblick auf basistherapeutische Maßnahmen sollte eine ausreichende Deckung des Energie- und Proteinstoffwechsels gewährleistet sein, da ein Großteil der Zirrhosepatienten mangelernährt ist. Bei der medikamentösen Behandlung des hepatogenen Diabetes muss auf die erhöhte Hypoglykämie-Gefährdung geachtet werden. Aufgrund der Nebenwirkungen sind Biguanide sowie PPAR-gamma-Liganden bei Leberzirrhose kontraindiziert. Geeignete orale Antidiabetika sind insbesondere Sulfonylharnstoffanaloga und kurz wirksame Sulfonylharnstoffe. Wenn eine suffiziente Diabetes-Einstellung mit oralen Antidiabetika nicht gelingt, sollte eine prandiale Insulintherapie mit Insulinen von kurzer Wirkdauer oder kurz wirksamen Insulinanaloga eingesetzt werden. Schlussfolgerung: Die Optimierung einer diabetischen Stoffwechsellage hat neben der Vermeidung typischer diabetischer Spätkomplikationen eine wichtige Bedeutung für die Vermeidung und Reduzierung von Zirrhose-assoziierten Komplikationen, wie z. B. gastrointestinale Blutungsereignisse, hepatische Enzephalopathie oder das Auftreten eines hepatozellulären Karzinoms.

Abstract

Background: Patients with liver cirrhosis develop frequently disturbances of glucose metabolism e. g. glucose intolerance or hepatogenous diabetes which are caused by the hepatocellular functional loss and insulin resistance due to chronic liver disease. Discussion: Until now there are no recommendations comparable to guidelines on the diagnosis of and therapy for hepatogenic diabetes. Regarding basic treatment a sufficient daily energy and protein supply should be guaranteed since the majority of patients with liver cirrhosis are malnourished. The risk of hypoglycaemia must be considered carefully under pharmacological treatment of hepatogenous diabetes. Biguanide and PPAR gamma agonists are contraindicated due to side effects in liver cirrhosis. Suitable oral antidiabetics are glinides and short-acting sulfonylureas. If a sufficient diabetes adjustment does not succeed by oral antidiabetics a prandial insulin therapy using short-acting insulins or rapid-acting insulin analogues should be applied. Conclusion: Optimisation of diabetic metabolic conditions is not only important to avoid typical diabetic late complications but also cirrhosis-associated complications, e. g., gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy or the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
