A Novel Case of Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State After the Use of Teprotumumab in a Patient With Thyroid Eye Disease.

Abstract

Teprotumumab, a novel treatment for thyroid eye disease (TED), which blocks the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, has been associated with improvement in proptosis and inflammatory ocular symptoms. In the original trials, hyperglycemia was reported in 5% to 12% of patients; however, none required hospitalization. We report a case of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state after the first infusion of teprotumumab.
