A literature review on the clinical, laboratory, and treatment features of type B insulin resistance syndrome (TBIRS). Data from PubMed, the Virtual Health Library and Cochrane database were selected and analyzed using the REDCap application and R statistical program. From 182 papers, 65 were selected, which assessed 119 clinical cases, 76.5% in females and 42.9% in African-Americans, with an average age of 44 years. A common feature of TBIRS is co-occurrence of autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (most frequently reported). Hyperglycemia of difficult control was the mostly reported condition. Tests for anti-insulin receptor antibodies were positive in 44.2% of the cases. Disease management comprised fractional diet, insulin therapy (maximum dose given was 57 600 IU/day), plasmapheresis and immunosuppression with several classes of drugs, mainly glucocorticoids. Remission occurred in 69.7% of cases, in 30.3% of these spontaneously. The mortality rate was 15.38%. There was an inverse relationship between anti-insulin antibodies and remission (p = 0.033); and a positive correlation between combined immunosuppressive therapy and remission (p = 0.002). Relapse occurred in 7.6% of the cases. This rare syndrome has difficult-to-control diabetes, even with high doses of insulin, and it is usually associated with autoimmune diseases. Therapeutic advances using immunomodulatory therapy have led to significant improvements in the rate of remission.
Hemoglobina glicada A1c no diabetes
A hiperglicemia é uma complicação frequente, cuja prevalência ocorre em até 38% dos pacientes internados. Tal condição pode ser decorrente do diabetes previamente conhecido, de estresse responsivo a doenças ou tratamentos associados ou devido ao diabetes somente diagnosticado durante a internação. A presença de hiperglicemia nosocomial associa-se ao prolongamento do tempo de internação, ao aumento da demanda de recursos humanos e custos hospitalares e na piora do desfecho clínico. Diante das dificuldades de manejo da hiperglicemia de pacientes internados, as unidades hospitalares, seguindo as recomendações das sociedades e diretrizes internacionais e nacionais que trata da hiperglicemia do paciente internado, têm desenvolvido protocolos de controle glicêmico hospitalar e criado comissões interdisciplinares para tal fim. O Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC-UFC), baseado nas principais diretrizes internacionais e nacionais de tratamento ao diabetes, apresenta o seu protocolo de controle da hiperglicemia numa abordagem multi e interdisciplinar de cuidados ao paciente internado.
