RESUMO
Resumen OBJETIVO: Establecer si existe asociación entre el hiperparatiroidismo secundario a una deficiencia de vitamina D en el embarazo y la frecuencia de preeclampsia. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de casos y controles, prospectivo y longitudinal efectuado en pacientes con y sin preeclampsia que entre el 1 de enero y el 30 de junio del 2021 acudieron al Hospital Universitario de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León para la atención del parto. Criterios de inclusión: pacientes embarazadas con diagnóstico de preeclampsia en el último trimestre de la gestación con tensión arterial igual o mayor a 140-90 mmHg y proteinuria igual o mayor a 30 mg/dL. Para el grupo control: embarazadas sanas, sin diagnóstico de preeclampsia en el último trimestre de la gestación. Criterios de exclusión: tabaquismo, alcoholismo y drogadicción y quienes no aceptaron entrar al estudio o tuvieran diagnóstico de enfermedades médicas crónicas. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 90 pacientes divididas en dos grupos: con preeclampsia (n = 45) y sin ésta (control, n = 45). Se encontró una relación entre la deficiencia de vitamina D, la hipocalcemia y la preeclampsia; no así entre la paratohormona y la preeclampsia en los rangos internacionales de la primera. La preeclampsia se encontró con mayor frecuencia en pacientes de 12 a 15 años. CONCLUSIONES: El hiperparatiroidismo secundario a la deficiencia de vitamina D en el embarazo no se observó en pacientes con preeclampsia, quienes sí la padecieron tuvieron concentraciones de paratohormona en límites normales. Se encontró una relación entre la deficiencia de vitamina D, la hipocalcemia y la preeclampsia.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To establish whether there is an association between hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy and the frequency of preeclampsia. MATERIALSAND METHODS: Case-control, prospective, longitudinal study performed in patients with and without preeclampsia who between January 1 and June 30, 2021 attended the Hospital Universitario of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo Leon for delivery care. Inclusion criteria: pregnant patients with a diagnosis of preeclampsia in the last trimester of gestation with blood pressure equal to or greater than 140-90 mmHg and proteinuria equal to or greater than 30 mg/dL. For the control group: healthy pregnant women without a diagnosis of preeclampsia in the last trimester of gestation. Exclusion criteria: smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction and those who did not agree to enter the study or had a diagnosis of chronic medical diseases. RESULTS: We studied 90 patients divided into two groups: with preeclampsia (n = 45) and without preeclampsia (control, n = 45). A relationship was found between vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and preeclampsia; a relationship was not found between parathormone and preeclampsia in the international parathormone ranges. Preeclampsia was found more frequently in patients aged 12 to 15 years. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy was not observed in patients with preeclampsia; those who had it had parathormone concentrations in normal limits. A relationship was found between vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and preeclampsia.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: There are few studies integrating the common causes of osteoporosis and obesity (disorders of body composition). A first step is to investigate correlations between their biological phenotypes to determine their common integrative physiology. OBJECTIVE: To correlate the variation of bone mineral density with phenotypes of body composition and biomarkers of bone physiology, insulin-glucose axis, and adipose tissue. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 75 women (aged 18-45 years). MEASUREMENTS: Body mass index, waist, fat mass, lean mass (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), glucose, insulin, osteocalcin, leptin, tumor necrosis factor alpha. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: multivariate general linear model, SPSS v.22, p<0.05. RESULTS: Age: 32.08±7.33. Bone mineral content multivariate general linear model 1 with two phenotypes excluded (glucose, insulin): osteocalcin (ß=-0.228, p=0.011), lean mass (ß=0.606, p=0.001) and fat mass (ß=1.237, p=0.001) in 62.0%. The bone mineral density multivariate general linear model 2 with three phenotypes excluded (body mass index, glucose, tumor necrosis factor alpha): insulin (ß=0.250, p=0.024), osteocalcin (ß=-0.362, p=0.001), lean mass (ß=0.512, p=0.001) and fat mass (ß=0.701, p=0.001) in 46.3%. CONCLUSIONS: Results show that body composition with an increased lean mass is beneficial to bone. This study reaffirms the importance of performing regular exercise to prevent muscle loss.
