Summary:A 26-year-old male with fulminant hepatitis had been treated twice in a day for 3 weeks with an intravenous drip infusion of regular insulin (10U) and glucagon (1mg) in 250ml of 5% glucose solution. Any other treatments had been accompanied during this period. Fortunately he had shown a good clinical course with marked improvements of liver functions, liver scintigrams and macroscopic and microscopic findings of the liver. Supplemental administration of pancreatic hormones to patients with fulminant hepatitis has beensuggested to have clinical significances.
