ABSTRACT

La enfermedad de Addison es una patología endocrinológica ocasionada por la disminución en la secreción de hormonas esteroideas por parte de la corteza adrenal; debida a múltiples etiologías (más comúnmente la tuberculosis en países en vías de desarrollo); con una evolución lenta, insidiosa y progresiva. Pudiendo llegar a una insuficiencia adrenal aguda, misma que puede llegar a ser de extrema gravedad; y en caso de no ser diagnosticada y tratada adecuadamente puede llevar a la muerte. El tratamiento primordial lo constituye la terapia hormonal sustitutiva con fármacos corticoesteroideos.


Addison's disease is an endocrinological pathology caused by the decrease in the secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex, due to multiple etiologies (most commonly tuberculosis in developing countries); with a slow, insidious and progressive evolution. Being able to reach an acute adrenal insufficiency, which can become extremely serious, and if it is not diagnosed and treated properly, it can lead to death. The primary treatment is hormone replacement therapy with corticosteroid drugs

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la respuesta ortostática de la tensión arterial de forma no invasiva en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson inicial leve a moderada atendidos en el Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía. Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal con grupo control. Se incluyeron pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson de menos de 5 años de evolución y severidad leve a moderada así como controles sanos. Se excluyeron sujetos con diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial o diagnóstico de disautonomía. Se realizaron mediciones de la tensión arterial en posición supina, y posteriormente a los3y5minde asumir bipedestación. Resultados: Se incluyeron 70 sujetos con enfermedad de Parkinson y 145 controles. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en género y edad entre ambos grupos. No hubo diferencias en el cambio de la tensión arterial sistólica entre los grupos a los 3 min pero sí a los 5min (p = 0.03). En el caso de la tensión diastólica existió diferencia entre ambos grupos a los 3 y 5min (p = 0.02 y p = 0.007). Conclusión: Los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson inicial presentan diferencias en la respuesta ortostática con respecto a controles sanos, siendo de mayor relevancia a los 5 min de bipedestación.


Objective: To evaluate orthostatic blood pressure response in patients with early Parkinson's disease and mild to moderate disease treated at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Method: A cross-sectional study with control group was carried out. Patients with Parkinson's disease with a disease duration of less than 5 years and mild to moderate severity along with healthy controls of the same age group were included. Those subjects with diabetes mellitus, hypertension or diagnosis of dysautonomia were excluded. Blood pressure was measured in supine position as well as after 3 and 5 min of standing. Results: Seventy subjects with Parkinson's disease and 145 controls were included. There were no statistically significant differences in gender and age between both groups. There was no difference in systolic blood pressure change between groups at 3 minutes but at 5 minutes a statistically significant difference was found (P = .03). For diastolic blood pressure a difference between both groups was present at three and five minutes (P = .02 and P = .007). Conclusion: Patients with early Parkinson's disease have differences in orthostatic responses compared to healthy controls, these differences are more relevant at 5 minutes of standing.
