Therefore, it has been assumed, without firm evidence, that rapid lowering of plasma triglycerides would be an effective strategy for reducing the clinical severity of acute pancreatitis and improving health outcomes. Therapies, such as intravenous heparin, intravenous insulin in normoglycaemic individuals (with glucose to prevent hypoglycaemia), and plasmapheresis, continue to be widely used as therapeutic interventions to rapidly reduce serum triglyceride concentration. These therapies are all associated with a risk of adverse reactions, require increased resources, and increase health-care costs. Randomised controlled clinical trials of these therapies have generally shown more rapid reductions in plasma triglycerides than conventional supportive care with the patient made nil by mouth. However, these three therapies alone or in combination, have failed to show effectiveness in improving substantial health benefit outcome measures. While we recognise the theoretical basis for rapidly reducing plasma triglycerides in hypertriglyceridaemia-induced pancreatitis—based on our review of studies using heparin, insulin, plasmapheresis, or a combination of these—these strategies overall do not reduce complications associated with acute pancreatitis or the rapidity of disease resolution. Therefore, we do not advocate the use of triglyceride-lowering therapies at this time, pending more convincing evidence.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The management of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma is challenging for several reasons, including its heterogeneous but frequently aggressive biological behaviour; tumour-related hormonal excess (eg, Cushing's syndrome or virilisation); the overall paucity of evidence regarding diagnostic investigation and treatment; the approval of only one drug (mitotane); and the scarcity of centres with sufficient experience. In this Review, we present 25 questions on the most important aspects of the clinical management of adult patients with adrenocortical carcinoma that we have frequently asked ourselves over the past 25 years. We offer our personal answers and perspectives, drawing upon published evidence as well as more than 60 years of collective clinical experience and insights from our management of more than 1700 patients across two centres in Germany and Italy.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143599107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, kidney transplant recipients are distinct from GLP-1 receptor agonist trial participants, with longer diabetes duration and severity, greater end-organ damage, increased cardiovascular risk, and multimorbidity. We examined GLP-1 receptor agonist real-world effectiveness and safety in kidney transplant recipients with diabetes.<h3>Methods</h3>This USA-based retrospective cohort study included kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes at transplantation and Medicare as their primary insurance from a national registry linked with Medicare claims. Post-transplantation GLP-1 receptor agonist use was identified through Medicare claims. Death-censored graft loss was estimated using the Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model and extended Cox models were used for mortality and safety endpoints. Models incorporated inverse probability of treatment weights. To further test whether bias could affect the main results, a cohort was created in which each GLP-1 receptor agonist user was matched with a kidney transplant recipient who had not started a GLP-1 receptor agonist, was alive with a functioning graft, and had accrued the same amount of post-transplant survival time.<h3>Findings</h3>Between Jan 1, 2013 and Dec 31, 2020, we identified 44 536 first time kidney transplant recipients with Medicare as primary payer in the 6 months before and at transplantation. 24 192 patients were excluded as they did not have type 2 diabetes. 2328 patients were ineligible (1916 had missing values and 412 used GLP-1 receptor agonists before transplantation). The primary cohort thus consisted of 18 016 kidney transplant recipients with diabetes. Of these patients, 1969 (10·9%) had at least one GLP-1 receptor agonist prescription filled post-transplant. Compared with patients who had not received a GLP-1 receptor agonist, GLP-1 receptor agonist users were younger (median age at transplant 57 years [IQR 49–64] <em>vs</em> 60 years [51–66], p<0·0001) and more likely to be female (786 [39·9%] <em>vs</em> 5645 [35·2%], p<0·0001). Among GLP-1 receptor agonist users, 552 [28·0%] were non-Hispanic White, 703 [35·7%] were non-Hispanic Black, and 568 [28·8%] were Hispanic. The 5-year unadjusted cumulative incidence of death-censored graft loss from a cohort matched on survival time before GLP-1 receptor agonist initiation was 6·0% for GLP-1 receptor agonist users and 10·7% for non-users (Gray's test p=0·004). The 5-year unadjusted cumulative incidence for mortality from a cohort matched on survival time before GLP-1 receptor agonist initiation was 17·0% for GLP-1 receptor agonist users and 25·8% for non-users (log-rank p=0·0006).
