Hepatic Subcapsular Steatosis in Response to Intraperitoneal Insulin Delivery: CT Findings and Prevalence

Abstract

Hepatic subcapsular steatosis appeared as subcapsular nodules and often rindlike areas of low attenuation in seven (18%) of 39 patients who received intraperitoneal insulin with their peritoneal dialysate. Cessation of intraperitoneal insulin therapy led to reversal of the steatosis in three patients.
