Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the acceleration of heart rate caused by GLP-1RA should not be ignored. In the general population and patients with diabetes, increased heart rate has an independent correlation with the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. In general, the long-acting GLP-1RA seem to exert a greater effect in increasing heart rate, and the effect is dose-dependent and negatively correlated with baseline heart rate. The increase in heart rate caused by GLP-1RA may be related to enhanced sympathetic nervous activity, reflex tachycardia as a response to vasodilation, etc. It is advisable to closely monitor the increased heart rate induced by GLP-1RA in clinical practice, especially in patients with high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In case of elevated heart rate, the management begins with immediate discontinuation of the GLP-1RA and symptomatic intervention should be given if necessary.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of liraglutide-induced pancreatitis, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, PubMed, Web of Science and Medline, case reports about liraglutide-induced pancreatitis were collected from the inception to December 31st, 2022. Demographic characteristics, drug use, clinical manifestations, intervention and outcome were analyzed using descriptive statistical method. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were collected and 17 patients were involved, including 7 males and 10 females. The patients aged from 25 to 75 years. All 17 patients had drug indications, including 14 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus, 3 cases of obesity or overweight. Among 17 patients, liraglutide was used alone in 5 cases, and combined with other drugs in 12 cases. Time from liraglutide administration to pancreatitis occurrence ranged from 1 day to 11 months after medication in 17 patients, with 14 cases less than 6 months. The clinical manifestations mainly included abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, etc. After the diagnosis of pancreatitis, liraglutide discontinuation occurred in 16 patients; 1 case did not receive any other interventions and the other 15 cases were managed with symptomatic supportive treatment; the symptoms of all 16 patients resolved; however, 2 patients suffered from second episode of severe pancreatitis several weeks after liraglutide discontinuation, pancreatitis recurred after liraglutide rechallenge in 1 case. The results of correlation evaluation showed that 1 case was “positive”, 4 cases were “possible”, and the remaining patients were “very likely”. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide-induced pancreatitis mainly occurred within 6 months after drug administration. The majority of liraglutide-induced pancreatitis cases are mild to moderate, but there are also severe and even fatal cases. It is advisable to periodically monitor the level of pancreatic enzymes and closely observe patients’ clinical mani-festations. In case of suspected liraglutide-induced pancreatitis,drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment should be taken immediately.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of nephrotic syndrome induced by sunitinib, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang data, PubMed, Web of Science and Medline, case report about sunitinib-induced nephrotic syndrome were collected from the inception to Oct. 30th, 2022. Those case reports were analyzed statistically in terms of gender, age, primary disease, drug use, clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome. RESULTS A total of 15 pieces of literature were collected and 17 patients were involved, including 10 males and 7 females. The average age of patients was (59.35±15.72) years. Among 17 patients, there were 10 patients with renal cell carcinoma and 7 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, all of whom received evidence-based medication; the dosage of sunitinib in 15 cases was recorded, and all of them were within the recommended range of the instructions; 9 patients received combined therapy; the time from sunitinib application to the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome was 21 days-52 months, of which 11 cases were ≤2 years. The clinical manifestations in 13 patients were described, including edema, oliguria, foamy urine, weight gain, fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, etc. Eight patients had other adverse reactions induced by sunitinib before suffering from nephrotic syndrome, including new hypertension or worsening of original hypertension, and hand-foot syndrome. Renal biopsy mainly manifested as thrombotic microangiopathy, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and immune complex glomerulonephritis. Sunitinib withdrawal or dosage reduction was adopted in all patients, and they were given symptomatic treatment such as glucocorticoids and antihypertensive agents. Symptoms of 16 patients were improved, and renal function of one patient deteriorated and hemodialysis was started. Sunitinib was re-challenged in 6 patients, elevated creatinine and substantial proteinuria recurred in 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS In clinical use of sunitinib, it is advisable to periodically monitor renal function. In case of deterioration of renal function, albuminuria, edema, etc., relevant examinations should be implemented in time, and symptomatic intervention should be taken as soon as possible. Besides, we should be alert to the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome after sunitinib rechallenge.
