What are the potential metabolic side effects of aspirin, including changes in lipid metabolism or glucose levels and how are these monitored in patients?
Aspirin can affect glucose metabolism, potentially causing hypoglycemia, especially in diabetic patients. Regular blood glucose monitoring is advised.
Aspirin might influence lipid metabolism, possibly leading to altered cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Patients on long-term aspirin therapy often undergo periodic lipid profile tests.
