Development of postpartum Graves' disease and type 1 diabetes after delivery in a patient with gestational diabetes.
JOURNAL OF DIABETES INVESTIGATION(2011)
摘要
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with changes of the immune system. These changes might eventually result in autoimmune diseases, such as Graves' disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus, in the postpartum period. We describe a case of a patient with gestational diabetes who developed both Graves' disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus in the postpartum period. The pathology of gestational diabetes (GDM) is close to that of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the present case emphasizes the importance of screening and monitoring high-risk GDM patients for all available autoimmune antibodies throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period, as GDM has a risk of developing into type 1 diabetes and multiple autoimmune diseases. In addition, only Graves' disease was transient, whereas type 1 diabetes mellitus remained permanent in the present case. Thus, the present case shows etiological differences between these two autoimmune diseases. (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2010.00089.x, 2011)
