Insulin antibody-mediated insulin resistance is a rare autoimmune mechanism that can cause severe hyperglycemia.
A 52-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss (8 kg in 6 months). He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at age 33.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus with antibody-mediated insulin resistance syndrome.
Rituximab infusion in a 500 mg dose was given 2 times in a 2-week interval.
A significant response was achieved 1 month later with fasting plasma glucose: 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c: 7.6% (59.6 mmol/mol), and anti-insulin antibodies: 0.001 U/mL. Clinically improved response persisted for about 6 months.
Clinicians should be aware of the antibody-mediated insulin resistance, recognize suggestive signs and symptoms, pursue appropriate diagnostic evaluation, and treatment approach.
胰岛素抗体介导的胰岛素抵抗是一种罕见的自身免疫机制,可导致严重的高血糖症。
一名52岁男性患者因多饮、多尿和体重减轻(6个月内减轻8公斤)入院。他33岁时被诊断为2型糖尿病。
2型糖尿病伴抗体介导的胰岛素抵抗综合征。
以500毫克剂量静脉输注利妥昔单抗,每2周给药1次,共2次。
1个月后取得显著疗效,空腹血糖为120毫克/分升(6.7毫摩尔/升),糖化血红蛋白A1c为7.6%(59.6毫摩尔/摩尔),抗胰岛素抗体为0.001单位/毫升。临床改善反应持续约6个月。
临床医生应了解抗体介导的胰岛素抵抗,识别提示性的体征和症状,进行适当的诊断评估和治疗。
