Introduction: Hypercalcemia associated with the use of a SGLT-2 inhibitor is a very rare adverse effect. Herein we reported a case of apparent primary hyperparathyroidism that occurred while applying the treatment of dapagliflozin in a patient with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.Case report: A 49-year-old male patient with 5 years of diabetes mellitus history admitted for his routine control and Hba1c level was observed 7.9%. Dapagliflozin (1 &...

Introduction: Acromegaly is caused by growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) excess and leads to various comorbidities. However, the association between acromegaly and thromboembolic diseases is unclear. Herein, we present a newly diagnosed acromegaly patient with massive pulmonary embolism.Case report: A 61-year-old female was hospitalized with acromegaly pre-diagnosis.

AimsWe aimed to reveal the impacts of dapagliflozin, a sodium glucose transporter inhibitor (SGLT2i), on the body weight and body composition, cardiovascular risk indexes, and carotis intima-media thickness (CIMT).MethodsBody weights, body compositions measured by means of bioelectrical impedance, and CIMT in the baseline, the 12th, and the 24th week of 42 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus receiving SGLT...

PurposeThyroid hormones are known to have an essential role in the regulation of energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism. Considering to literature data, variations of thyroid hormones within normal ranges change in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in opposite ways. This study aims to evaluate thyroid hormone levels and fT3/fT4 ratio in different glucose metabolism statuses of euthyroid patients with obesity.Methods</p...
