ABSTRACT

Se presenta la evolución a corto plazo de 2 casos de displasias diafisarias, uno de enfermedad de Ribbing y el otro de Camurati-Engelman, tratados con pamidronato disódico, por vía oral. El diagnóstico se verificó por el cuadro clínico, bioquímico y radiológico, este último mostrando el típico engrosamiento de las corticales diafisarias. Aunque tratándose de patologías condensantes, la medicación se administró porque ambos casos presentaban recambio óseo acelerado, evidenciado por los marcadores bioquímicos del metabolismo fosfo-cálcico y la hipercaptación en la centellografía esquelética. El bisfosfonato produjo mejorías clínicas, reduciendo el dolor óseo, mejorándo la deambulación de las pacientes y normalizando la actividad metabólica. Se consideran a estos efectos como francamente positivos en estas displasias, carentes de tratamiento específico.

ABSTRACT

Twenty five postmenopausal Caucasian women with established osteoporosis or severe osteopenia were treated with continuous combined estrogen/progesterone (2 mg 17 beta estradiol and 5 mg medroxiprogesterone) and 1000 mg of calcium daily. The mean age of the patients was 57 + 6 years (range 44 to 69 years), and the average postmenopausal interval was of 10.7 + 4.2 years. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and proximal femur was determined using DXA densitometer at baseline, 12 and 24 months of treatment. Serum and urine measurements were done at baseline and 12 months. After 24 months of treatment bone mineral density increased at the trochanter 10.2 per cent p<0.001, lumbar spine 9.6 per cent p<0.001, Ward's triangle 8.6 per cent p<0.005 and femoral neck 5.7 per cent p<0.001 in comparison to basal levels. In the first year of treatment serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxiproline diminished significantly in comparison to basal levels (p<0.001, for both). In conclusion, this study indicates that continous combined estrogen progesterone therapy descreases bone turnover and increases BMD of the spine, femoral neck and trochanter in established osteoporosis.
