ABSTRACT
La osteodistrofia renal (ODR) se caracteriza por alteraciones óseas. Se evaluaron métodos bioquímicosalternativos a la biopsia ósea en pacientes renales para determinar cambios rápidos delremodelamiento óseo en 43 pacientes predialíticos (PD) y 49 hemodializados (HD). Los PD presentaronfosfatemia, fosfatasa alcalina ósea (FAO), hormona paratiroidea intacta (PTHi) y beta-telopéptido carboxilo terminaldel colágeno tipo I (betaCTXs) mayores y clearence de creatinina (Ccr) menores (p<0.001) que los controles.La fosfatemia de HD fue más elevada, significativamente respecto de controles (p<0.0001); FAO, PTHi y betaCTXsfueron mayores a los otros dos grupos (p<0.0001). En ambos grupos renales betaCTXs y FAO correlacionaroncon PTHi (p<0.002 y p<0.0001, respectivamente) y entre sí (p<0.0001). Los PD con Ccr <40 ml/min presentaronPTHi, FAO y bCTXs (p<0.004, p<0.05 y p<0.001, respectivamente) más elevados que aquellos con Ccr>40ml/min. En PD, betaCTXs (p<0.05) y en HD tanto betaCTXs como FAO (p<0.0001) estaban aumentados respecto decontroles, aun con PTHi normal. Los incrementos mayores en los marcadores óseos se observaron en los pacientescon mayores niveles de PTHi (p<0.001). En conclusión; aun sin PTHi elevada existe un aumento deresorción ósea (posiblemente por otros factores) y la medición de betaCTXs sería una herramienta apropiada notraumática para detectar tempranamente alteraciones óseas por IR que permitiría tomar medidas preventivaspara evitar dicha pérdida. Asimismo, instalada la ODR determinar el aumento del remodelamiento sería sumamenteútil para identificar pacientes que requieran biopsia ósea. El reemplazo de la misma por beta-CTX séricodeberá esperar estudios que demuestren la correlación existente entre ambas metodologías.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of low fat diets in children aged 2 to 5. Eighty two children (40 females and 42 males) attending a school cafeteria (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), in a cross sectional study, were evaluated. Body weight (W), height (H) and body composition (BC) by bioimpedance were recorded. The anthropometric raw data were processed as Z-score of the weight-for-age (WEZ) and of the height-for-age (HAZ). Serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and Zinc/haemoglobin ratio (Zn/Hb) were also measured. Results showed that 73.2 per cent of children were adequate (A) according WEZ, 13.4 per cent were lean (L) and 13.4 per cent overweight (O). 8.5 per cent presented simultaneously impairment in WEZ and HAZ. Body fat percentage and energy metabolism were higher in O than in L and A (p < 0.05). Serum IGF-1's children--aged 4 to 5 years--with HAZ deficit were low than adequate HAZ ones. No statistical differences in Zn/Hb ratio between A, L and O were found. This cross sectional study suggests metabolic disorders in young children attending school cafeterias. These conclusions will allow to design balanced diets in order to optimize the resources, promote optimal growth and development and prevent adult diseases through dietary practices in childhood.
