Partial deficiency of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase in an adult patient.

Abstract

Patients with hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency usually have a striking clinical syndrome during childhood and are readily diagnosed by the pediatrician. An adult patient had childhood manifestations of glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency that were mild and unrecognized; symptoms of tophaceous gout, urate nephropathy and characteristic blood chemical studies suggested the diagnosis at age 39. Subsequent epinephrine and galactose tolerance tests were characteristic of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency and direct assay of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase confirmed a partial deficiency of the enzyme. The case emphasized that patients with this deficiency may escape diagnosis during childhood and that internists should consider the diagnosis in adolescents or young adults with acute gouty arthritis or tophaceous gout.
