Elevated amylase and lipase levels in patients using glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonists or dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors in the outpatient setting.

Objective: To investigate the effects of glucagonlike peptidase-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on serum amylase and serum lipase levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: In 90 patients with type 2 diabetes, treatment was initiated with a GLP-1 agonist or a DPP-4 inhibitor. A comparison group consisted of 33 patients with type 2 diabetes and similar characteristics who were not prescribed these agents.

Two cases of statin-induced myopathy caused by induced hypothyroidism.

Objective: To present information regarding the potential danger of performing levothyroxine withdrawal radioiodine scans and treatment in patients with thyroid cancer who are concurrently taking lipid-lowering agents.

Methods: We review the clinical history, serial laboratory data, and radiologic findings in 2 patients with multifocal papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.

Results: Both study patients had substantial elevations of muscle enzymes or myopathies (or both) when they were withdrawn from levothyroxine therapy, during treatment with lipid-lowering agents, in preparation for radioiodine scanning and treatment.
