ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a graphical representation in the form of a food pyramid for a ketogenic diet for dietary treatment in children and adolescents with refractory epilepsy. Methods: The pyramid was constructed based on: the estimation of energy requirements for different age groups, macronutrient distribution, food groups, and the number of servings and respective amounts of food according to the ketogenic diet. Serving sizes were based on the calculation of energy and macronutrient requirements according to age and nutritional status. Results: The pyramid was divided into three tiers and 5 food groups (fats, proteins, type 1 vegetables, type 2 vegetables, and fruits). Four portion size lists were defined for the following age groups: 1-3 years, 4-6 years, 7-10 years, and 11-19 years. Conclusion: The ketogenic diet food pyramid can be used as nutritional guidance for patients undergoing this dietary therapy by illustrating the variety of foods that can be eaten during the treatment, optimizing adherence to the treatment, and guaranteeing beneficial effects on seizure control.


RESUMO Objetivo: Desenvolver uma representação gráfica sob a forma de pirâmide alimentar para a dieta cetogênica destinada a crianças e adolescentes com indicação de tratamento dietético da epilepsia refratária. Métodos: A construção foi baseada na estimativa da necessidade energética por faixa etária, na distribuição de macronutrientes, nos grupos alimentares, no número de porções e nas respectivas quantidades de alimentos a serem ofertados de forma a atender as recomendações da dieta cetogênica. O porcionamento dos alimentos foi feito baseado no cálculo da necessidade energética e na distribuição de macronutriente segundo a faixa etária e estado nutricional. Resultados: A pirâmide foi dividida em três estratos e em cinco grupos alimentares (gorduras, proteínas, hortaliças tipo 1, hortaliças tipo 2 e frutas). Foram elaboradas quatro listas de porcionamento para as seguintes faixas etárias 1 a 3 anos, 4 a 6 anos, 7 a 10 anos e 11 a 19 anos. Conclusão: A utilização da pirâmide alimentar da dieta cetogênica facilitará a orientação inicial dos pacientes submetidos a essa terapia nutricional, ilustrando a diversidade de alimentos que podem ser ofertados durante o tratamento e otimizando, assim, a aderência ao mesmo e a manutenção dos efeitos benéficos de controle de crises.

ABSTRACT

A dieta cetogênica (DC) é um tratamento não farmacológico prescrito especialmente para crianças e adolescentes com epilepsia refratária. A composição da dieta cetogênica é baseada no alto teor de gorduras, baixo teor de carboidratos e teor proteico moderado, sendo a produção de corpos cetônicos o mecanismo provável envolvido no controle das crises epilépticas. Apesar dos benefícios clínicos, a relação entre DC e o risco cardiometabólico não está bem estabelecida, especialmente sob os fatores de risco não clássicos. Objetivo: comparar os efeitos da dieta cetogênica clássica com a dieta cetogênica modificada nas subfrações de LDL e HDL, nos marcadores oxidativos, no perfil de apolipoproteinas e no perfil lipídico de crianças e adolescentes com epilepsia refratária, além do efeito clínico no controle da epilepsia. Métodos: Estudo de intervenção com recrutamento de crianças e adolescentes com epilepsia refratária de 1 a 19 anos de ambos os sexos do Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP. O grupo controle recebeu DC clássica e o grupo caso recebeu a DC modificada com redução em pelo menos 20% de ácidos graxos saturados (AGS) e redução da relação w6/w3 em pelo menos 50% em comparação a DC clássica. Para ambos os grupos foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros bioquímicos no período basal, após 3 meses e 6 meses de DC: perfil lipídico clássico, concentração de ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNEs), substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARs), subfrações de lipoproteina de baixa densidade (LDL) e lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL), e perfil de apolipoproteínas (APOA-I e APOB). Além da avaliação clínica, antropométrica e de consumo alimentar. Resultados: A redução de crises e dos fármacos antiepilépticos foi semelhante entre os grupos. O aumento na concentração de colesterol total (CT) e LDL foi inferior no grupo caso, a Não-HDL manteve-se significativamente menor no grupo caso em comparação ao grupo controle e a relação LDL/APOB foi superior no grupo controle após 6 meses de DC. O percentual de partículas pequenas de LDL apresentou aumento superior em 208% no grupo controle comparado ao grupo caso, e consequentemente o tamanho de LDL apresentou maior redução no grupo controle. A incidência de dislipidemia foi significativamente inferior no grupo caso considerando os pontos de corte para LDL (>=130 mg/dL) e não-HDL (>=145 mg/dL). Não houve diferença entre os grupos na concentração de ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNES) e substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARs). Conclusão: A mudança do perfil de gorduras 10 contribuiu para melhora das concentrações de marcadores de risco cardiometabólico (CT, LDL e LDL pequenas) e consequentemente, perfil mais cardioprotetor nos pacientes do grupo caso


The ketogenic diet (KD) is a non-pharmacological treatment especially prescribed to children and adolescentes with refractory epilepsy. The composition of the ketogenic diet is based on the high fat, low carbohydrate and moderate protein. The production of ketone bodies is the probable mechanism involved in the control of epileptic seizures. Despite the clinical benefits, the relationship between KD and cardiometabolic risk is not well established, especially under non-classical risk factors. Objective: to compare the effects of the classical KD with the modified KD on the LDL and HDL subfractions, in oxidative biomarkers, in apolipoprotein profile and lipid profile of children and adolescentes with refractory epilepsy, as well as the clinical effect on control of seizure. Methods: Dietary intervention study with recruitment of children and adolescentes with refractory epilepsy aged 1 to 19 years of both sexes from the Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP. The control group received classical KD and the case group received modified KD with a reduction of at least 20% saturated fatty acids (SFA) and a reduction of the w6/w3 ratio by at least 50% compared to classic KD. For both groups, the following biochemical parameters were analyzed at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of the KD: classical lipid profile, concentration of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions, size LDL, and apolipoprotein profile (APOA-I and APOB). In addition to clinical, anthropometric and food consumption assessment. Results: The reduction of seizures and antiepileptic drugs was similar between the groups. The increase in total cholesterol (TC) and LDL levels was lower in the case group, non-HDL remained significantly lower in the case group compared to the control group and the LDL/APOB ratio was higher in the control group after 6 months of KD. The percentage of small LDL particles showed a 208% higher in the control group than case group. Consequently, the LDL size showed a greater reduction in the control group. The incidence of dyslipidemia was significantly lower in the case group considering cut-off points for LDL (>=130 mg/dL) and non-HDL (>=145 mg/dL). There was no difference between the groups in the NEFAs and TBARs levels. Conclusion: The change in the fatty acids profile contributed to improvement the concentrations of cardiometabolic risk markers (TC, 12 LDL and small LDL), and consequently, a more cardioprotective profile in the patients of case group

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and adequate-protein diet is an established, effective nonpharmacologic treatment option for intractable childhood epilepsy. The KD was developed in 1921 and even though it has been increasingly used worldwide in the past decade, many neurologists are not familiar with this therapeutic approach. In the past few years, alternative and more flexible KD variants have been developed to make the treatment easier and more palatable while reducing side effects and making it available to larger group of refractory epilepsy patients. This review summarizes the history of the KD and the principles and efficacy of the classic ketogenic diet, medium-chain triglyceride(s) (MCT) ketogenic diet, modified Atkins diet, and low glycemic index treatment.


RESUMO A dieta cetogênica, rica em gorduras, adequada em proteínas e pobre em carboidratos é uma opção de tratamento efetiva e bem estabelecida para epilepsia de difícil controle na infância. Foi desenvolvida em 1921 e nos últimos 20 anos tem sido utilizada em diferentes países e culturas, porém ainda é desconhecida entre muitos neurologistas e outras especialidades. Recentemente, no esforço de tornar a dieta mais palatável, de fácil administração e com menos efeitos adversos, dietas cetogênicas alternativas foram criadas, possibilitando a sua administração a um maior número de pacientes. Nesta revisão abordaremos a história, príncipios e eficácia da dieta cetogênica, da dieta com triglicérides de cadeia média, da dieta modificada de Atkins e da dieta com baixos índices glicêmicos.

ABSTRACT

A ketogenic diet is an important therapy used in the control of drug-refractory seizures. Many studies have shown that children and adolescents following ketogenic diets exhibit an over 50% reduction in seizure frequency, which is considered to be clinically relevant. These benefits are based on a diet containing high fat (approximately 90% fat) for 24 months. This dietary model was proposed in the 1920s and has produced variable clinical responses. Previous studies have shown that the mechanisms underlying seizure control involve ketone bodies, which are produced by fatty acid oxidation. Although the pathways involved in the ketogenic diet are not entirely clear, the main effects of the production of ketone bodies appear to be neurotransmitter modulation and antioxidant effects on the brain. This review highlights the impacts of the ketogenic diet on the modulation of neurotransmitters, levels of biogenic monoamines and protective antioxidant mechanisms of neurons. In addition, future perspectives are proposed. .

ABSTRACT

Studies of epilepsy have mainly focused on the membrane proteins that control neuronal excitability. Recently, attention has been shifting to intracellular proteins and their interactions, signaling cascades and feedback regulation as they relate to epilepsy. The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signal transduction pathway, especially, has been suggested to play an important role in this regard. These pathways are involved in major physiological processes as well as in numerous pathological conditions. Here, involvement of the mTOR pathway in epilepsy will be reviewed by presenting; an overview of the pathway, a brief description of key signaling molecules, a summary of independent reports and possible implications of abnormalities of those molecules in epilepsy, a discussion of the lack of experimental data, and questions raised for the understanding its epileptogenic mechanism.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, some neurological disorders are reviewed where nutritional management is relevant. These are cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism and attention déficit disorder (ADHD). Nutrition is affected in children with Cerebral Palsy due to the illness, difficult in ingesting foods due to sensory, motor and/or GI disorders, and specific nutritional déficits secondary to insufficient intake. In epilepsy and ADHD, interaction with medications must be added. In autism there is additional controversy regarding nutritional management. Nutritional status will depend on the severity of the main disorder, time of evolution, adequate care. Nutritional vigilance by the multidisciplinbary treatment team. Good management contributes to improve the evolution of the illness, diminish medication adverse effect, prevent specific deficiencies, development of excess disorders (as in obesity), and non nutritional complications (such as infections).


En este artículo se revisan algunas enfermedades neurológicas en donde el manejo nutricional tiene un rol relevante, como son la parálisis cerebral, epilepsia, autismo y síndrome de déficit atencional (SDAH). La nutrición frecuentemente es afectada en niños con parálisis cerebral por factores como la enfermedad de base, la dificultad en ingerir alimentos por alteraciones sensoriales, motoras y/o gastrointestinales y las deficiencias nutricionales específicas relacionadas con la ingesta insuficiente lograda; se agregan para epilepsia y SDAH las interacciones fármaco-nutriente. En autismo hay controversias que involucran factores relacionados a la alimentación en su manejo. El estado nutricional del paciente dependerá de la severidad de su enfermedad de base, tiempo de evolución, adecuado cuidado y de la vigilancia nutricional por parte del equipo multidisciplinario tratante. Un buen manejo metabólico nutricional contribuye a mejorar la evolución de la enfermedad neurológica de base, a disminuir los efectos adversos de la medicaciones específicas, a prevenir carencias específicas de nutrientes, el desarrollo de enfermedades por exceso (obesidad) y complicaciones no nutricionales (ej infecciosas).

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we report on a 5-year-old girl who developed a renal stone while following the ketogenic diet to treat refractory seizure disorder. Three months after initiating the ketogenic diet, she developed severe abdominal pain and vomiting. The spot urine calcium-to-creatinine (Ca/Cr) ratio and 24-hour urine evaluation showed hypercalciuria. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a stone in the right ureteropelvic junction, resulting in hydronephrosis of the right kidney. The renal stone disappeared 5 days after conservative treatment; the patien's microscopic hematuria resolved concurrently. In light of this case report, we recommend regularly monitoring the urine Ca/Cr ratio with ultrasonography for further development of renal stones in patients following the ketogenic diet. If these patients exhibit evidence of symptomatic hypercalciuria or cyristalluria, liberalization of fluid restriction and urine alkalization using oral potassium citrate should be considered.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the ketogenic diet in Indian children with uncontrolled epilepsy. Study Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Hospital based. Patients: 105 children (age 4 months to 18 years) with uncontrolled epilepsy enrolled in the ketogenic diet program over a period of 9 years and followed up for 25.7 ± 20.3 months (median:17 months) on the ketogenic diet. Main outcome measures: Reduction in seizure frequency and comparison of improvement in two main groups of epilepsies, namely epileptic encephalopathies and localization related epilepsies. Results: Thirty seven (35%) out of 105 children dropped out of the study and 68 remained on the diet. Thirty nine (37%) achieved 100% control, 23 (22%) achieved between 90 and 99% control, 7 (6.8%) achieved between 75 and 90% control, and 16 (15.2%) achieved between 50 and 75% control. Twenty (19%) achieved less than 50% control. Epileptic encephalopathies had a better response than localization related epilepsies. Conclusion: The Indian version of ketogenic diet used is well tolerated and efficacious in controlling difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. Epileptic encephalopathies respond better than localization related epilepsies

ABSTRACT

En la actualidad, a pesar de todos los recursos farmacológicos y tecnológicos disponibles, alrededor de un 30 por ciento de los pacientes con Epilepsia, son portadores de una Epilepsia de tipo Refractaria. Su diagnóstico y reconocimiento precoz, la detección de sus comorbilidades asociadas y su manejo efectivo y multidisciplinario, permitirá prevenir diversas secuelas definitivas, que afectan seriamente todos los ámbitos de la vida de un paciente. Por otra parte, están en desarrollo numerosas nuevas alternativas terapéuticas, tanto farmacológicas como genéticas, las que son muy prometedoras para lograr un control más satisfactorio y definitivo de esta enfermedad.


At present, despite all pharmacological and technological resources available, about 30 percent of patients with epilepsy, are carriers of a type of refractory epilepsy. His early recognition and diagnosis, detection of their associated comorbidities and its effective management and multidisciplinary, would prevent various sequels final, which seriously affect all spheres of life of a patient. Moreover, manyare developing new therapeutic altematives, both pharmacological and genetic, which are very promising to achieve a more satisfactory and definitive control of this disease.

ABSTRACT

Background: Ketogenic diet (KD) represents an alternative in treatment of refractory epilepsy (RE). Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the diet and the frequency of complications in patients belonging to the KD Program from Luis Calvo Mackenna Children's Hospital (HLCM). Methods: Evaluation of all children enrolled in the program between 1999 and 2004, with analysis every 6 months of the diet efficacy, digestive tolerance, nutritional status, cholesterol levels and nephrolithiasis. Results: 21 children were admitted, 14 boys, age between 6 months - 17 years-old. 76 percent, 71 percent and 67 percent of patients followed KD at 6, 12 and 18 months, respectively, with KD efficacy of 67 percent. At 12 months, 24 percent of patients did not present seizures. At 18 months, 85 percent remained close to ideal body weight (15 percent obesity) and height/age Z score decreased (-0,7 +/- 0,4; p < 0,05). Total cholesterol significantly increased at 6 months (64 percent hypercholesterolemia; decreased to 15 percent at 18 months). 2 patients developed nephrolithiasis. Conclusions: The study shows high efficacy of the KD for treatment of refractory epilepsy, with low rate of complications. It should be considered as a therapeutic alternative for these patients.


La dieta cetogénica (DK) es una opción de tratamiento en epilepsia refractaria (ER). En Chile no hay estudios publicados al respecto. Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia de la dieta en el control de las convulsiones y la frecuencia de complicaciones en los pacientes del programa de DK, para el tratamiento de ER, del Hospital Luis Calvo Mackena (HLCM). Pacientes y Método: Evaluamos todos los niños ingresados al programa entre 1999-2004. Para efectos de este trabajo se consideró el control al ingreso y cada 6 meses, evaluándose: eficacia de la dieta, tolerancia digestiva, evolución nutricional, niveles de colesterol plasmático y litiasis renal. Resultados: Ingresaron 21 niños de 6,2 años (6 meses a 17 años), 14 de sexo masculino. A los 6, 12 y 18 meses, 76 por ciento, 71 por ciento y 67 por ciento de los pacientes, respectivamente, se mantenía en dieta. La eficacia del tratamiento fue 67 por ciento. A los 12 meses, 24 por ciento de los pacientes estaba sin crisis. A los 18 meses 85 por ciento de los pacientes estaba eutrófico y 15 por ciento obeso. Se observó deterioro en la talla (delta zT/E -0,7 +/- 0,4; p < 0,05). El colesterol total aumentó significativamente a los 6 meses, encontrándose el 64 por ciento hipercolesterolémico; a los 18 meses este porcentaje se redujo a 15 por ciento. Dos pacientes presentaron litiasis renal (9 por ciento). Conclusiones: Este estudio muestra una muy buena eficacia de la dieta cetogénica para el tratamiento de la epilepsia refractaria, y una baja frecuencia de complicaciones, por lo que debería ser considerada como alternativa terapéutica en estos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Ketogenic diet (KD) is a high fat and low carbohydrate diet, which controls refractory epilepsy. We analyzed the KD effects on 54 children of the Children's Institute of the University of São Paulo. Efficacy, tolerability, and adverse effects were studied. Response to KD was effective (E) if seizure control was >75 percent, good (G) when 50-75 percent. When possible, we correlated the results with the epileptic syndrome and patient's age. By the second month on diet, 57.4 percent of the patients had E response and 31.4 percent G results. At the 6th month, 63.8 percent had E response and 25.5 percent G. At the 12th month, 71.8 percent had E and 25.6 percent G. At the 24th month, 62.1 percent had E and 37.9 percent G. Antiepileptic drugs have been reduced, and generalized epilepsy was the most sensitive. Age-related differences were not observed. Adverse effects were rarely observed. In conclusion, KD proved to be an effective treatment for refractory epilepsy.


A dieta cetogênica (DC) tem alto teor de gordura e baixo de carboidratos e proteínas, sendo usada no tratamento da epilepsia refratária. Analisamos os efeitos da DC em 54 crianças do Instituto da Criança da Universidade de São Paulo. Eficácia, tolerabilidade e efeitos adversos foram estudados. A DC foi considerada eficaz (E) quando houve redução de crises >75 por cento e boa (B) quando a redução foi entre 50-75 por cento. Correlacionamos, quando possível, esses resultados com a síndrome epiléptica e com a idade dos pacientes. Observamos resultados (E) em 57,4 por cento, 63,8 por cento, 71,8 por cento e 62,1 por cento dos pacientes no 2°, 6°, 12° e 24° meses, respectivamente e (B) em 31,4 por cento, 25,5 por cento, 25,6 por cento e 37,9 por cento, respectivamente. Houve redução significativa das drogas antiepilépticas. A DC foi mais eficaz nas epilepsias generalizadas e não houve diferenças quanto a idade. Efeitos adversos foram raros. Em conclusão, a DC é um tratamento antiepiléptico eficaz em casos refratários.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever a introdução e o manejo da dieta cetogênica em um grupo de seis crianças e adolescentes com epilepsia refratária. MÉTODOS: Os autores reviram o prontuário médico de cada paciente menor de 15 anos submetido à dieta cetogênica entre abril de 1999 e julho de 2003 e compararam os resultados terapêuticos e efeitos adversos e benéficos com a literatura pertinente. RESULTADOS: A dieta cetogênica foi introduzida para seis pacientes, com idade mediana de sete anos (faixa: 1,8-12,2). A duração média da aplicação da dieta foi 9,7 meses (faixa: 7 dias-4 anos). Observou-se uma redução igual ou maior que 50 por cento da freqüência das crises epilépticas em metade dos casos. As complicações observadas foram leucopenia, constipação, desidratação, priapismo e recorrência das crises epilépticas. CONCLUSÕES: A dieta cetogênica foi eficaz e segura em três pacientes de uma série de seis casos com epilepsia intratável. A complicação mais comum foi leucopenia.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE: The aim of this study was to establish the first ketogenic diet treatment program for refractory epilepsy in Thailand and to assess its feasibility as well as its efficacy. METHOD: Children with refractory epilepsy were enrolled in the study. This was a prospective open trial study with 35 children (16 boys and 19 girls). Not all patients started on the diet at the same time. Each patient was cumulatively enrolled in this study over the period of 4 years. The mean age on diet was 5.37 +/- 3.57 years (2 months-13 years), mean age of onset of seizures was 19.2 +/- 27.47 months (1 days-8 years), and an average duration on ketogenic diet was 7.67 months (6 days to 29 months). The classic "4:1" formula ketogenic diet was used with some modification. The patient's parents were allowed to improvise and use any fatty diets available in the market such as coconut milk if needed. Parents were closely supervised and instructed on how to prepare the patient's own meals while in the hospital and continued to attend neurology and nutrition clinics. The seizure outcome and side effects were monitored as well as a daily test for urine ketone. RESULTS: At 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months duration on the diet, 90 per cent seizure reductions were achieved in 62.5 per cent, 68.18 per cent, 75 per cent, and 66.67 per cent of patients remaining on the diet, respectively. The number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) used by each patient also decreased as a result of better seizure control. CONCLUSION: Ketogenic diet can be tried as a management option for refractory epilepsy. It is not difficult to implement even in a developing country like Thailand where resources are limited. It may also help reduce the cost of treatment especially in view of the high prices of the new AEDs.

ABSTRACT

A dieta cetogênica pode ser eficaz para o tratamento das epilepsias refratárias aos medicamentos antiepilépticos. Cerca de 20 por cento dos pacientes em dieta cetogênica podem ter suas crises reduzidas em 90 por cento, e em 40 por cento dos pacientes a redução da freqüência das crises é de cerca de 50 por cento. Dietas com altos teores lipídicos também podem ser úteis no tratamento de certos erros inatos do metabolismo. Pacientes que são mantidos nessa dieta necessitam de supervisão médica e de seguimento por nutricionista. A dieta cetogênica produz efeitos colaterais em aproximadamente 10 por cento dos casos
