Effects Of Antidiabetic Drugs On The Level Of Serum Uric Acid In Patients Who Have Type 2 Diabetes, Gang Wang, Guixia Wang

Saudi Medical Journal

ABSTRACT Hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are interconnected, in that each disorder increases risk for the other. Some antidiabetic drugs may decrease the level of serum uric acid (SUA). This narrative review describes the effects of multiple antidiabetic drugs on the SUA level and their possible mechanisms of action in patients with T2DM. The results showed that sodium glucose contransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), thiazolidinediones, metformin, and linagliptin decreased the SUA; insulin, sitagliptin, and alogliptin increased the SUA; and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), sulfonylureas, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors had little effect on the SUA. Sodium glucose contransporter-2 inhibitors appeared …

Giant Left Gastric Artery Aneurysm With Intrathoracic Extension, Ayhan Akcali, Bilal Ogan, Celal Buğra Sezen, Muzaffer Metin

Saudi Medical Journal

ABSTRACT Splanchnic artery aneurysms, particularly those involving the left gastric artery, are infrequent occurrences and often lack noticeable symptoms, but their rupture involves a significant risk of mortality. We present a case involving an unruptured left gastric artery aneurysm (LGAA) that extended into the right hemithorax. This case report outlines the categorization, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic challenges associated with such aneurysms. Our findings could offer valuable insights for clinicians and radiologists when adopting a systematic approach for the early detection and management of LGAA.
