RESUMEN
El síndrome de Down constituye la cromosopatía más frecuente a nivel mundial y afecta 6,03 a 7,86 de cada 10.000 nacidos vivos en Colombia. Los pacientes pediátricos de este grupo poblacional presentan una mayor incidencia de complicaciones endocrinológicas comparados con la población general. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar las complicaciones endocrinológicas prevalentes en el paciente pediátrico con síndrome de Down, relacionadas con el hipocrecimiento, desarrollo puberal, patología tiroidea, diabetes mellitus, dislipidemias y obesidad; así como describir su seguimiento y tratamiento. Se realizó una búsqueda en la literatura desde agosto de 2020 hasta diciembre de 2021, en las bases de datos PubMed y Google Scholar; incluyendo un total de 44 publicaciones para la presente revisión. Se concluye que el paciente pediátrico con síndrome de Down evidencia un patrón de hipocrecimiento junto a un mayor riesgo de obesidad y sobrepeso. Adicionalmente, presenta con mayor frecuencia patología tiroidea y diabetes mellitus.
ABSTRACT
Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder worldwide, affecting 6,03 to 7,86 per 10.000 live births in Colombia. Pediatric patients with Down syndrome have a higher incidence of endocrine disorders compared to the general population. The aim of this paper was to review the endocrinological manifestations prevalent in pediatric patients with Down syndrome related to small stature, pubertal development, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Additionally, their follow-up and adequate treatment are described. A literature search was carried out from August 2020 to December 2021 in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. A total of 44 publications were included for this review. It is concluded that pediatric patients with Down syndrome are more likely to have short stature and have a higher risk of obesity and overweight. In addition, thyroid dysfunction and diabetes mellitus are frequent complications.
