ABSTRACT

The pituitary lies within the sella turcica and has a very important role in the regulation of the neuro-endocrine functions through its hormones. Prolactinoma represents a benign tumor of the pituitary (adenoma) which excesively produces the hormon called prolactin. The authors present the case of a male adolescent 16 years old, evaluated in the pediatrics ambulatory for height deficit. On this ocassion increased levels of prolactin were revealed. Later on the patient was admitted in Clinic II Pediatrics to complete investigation for diagnosis.

Key words: height defi cit, prolactin, growth hormone

REZUMAT

Glanda hipofiză este situată la baza creierului, într-o formaţiune anatomică osoasă numită şaua turcească (sella turcica). Are un rol extrem de important în reglarea funcţiilor neuro-endocrine datorită hormonilor secretaţi. Prolactinomul reprezintă o tumoră benignă a glandei hipofize (adenom), ce produce în exces un hormon numit prolactina. Autorii prezintă cazul unui adolescent în vârstă de 16 ani, evaluat în ambulator pentru deficit staturo-ponderal, ocazie cu care s-au decelat valori crescute ale prolactinei serice. Ulterior, pacientul se internează în Clinica II Pediatrie pentru investigaţii suplimentare şi precizare de diagnostic.

REZUMAT

Introducere. Măsurarea indicilor somato-metrici reprezintă o metodă clinică simplă, ce poate fi utilizată pentru evaluarea complicaţiilor cardio-metabolice asociate obezităţii.

Obiective. Identificarea complicaţiilor cardio-metabolice asociate obezităţii şi evaluarea relevanţei utilizării IMC sau a raportului circumferinţă talie-înălţime pentru diagnosticul precoce al acestora, într-un grup de copii şi adolescenţi obezi.

Material şi metode. Studiul a inclus 174 de copii diagnosticaţi cu obezitate primară pe o perioadă de 3 ani. Variabilele analizate au fost: indicii antropometrici (inclusiv IMC, raportul circumferinţă talie-înălţime) şi rezultatele investigaţiilor biochimice.

Rezultate. 4,28% dintre copii prezentau suprapondere, 31,43% obezitate şi 64,29% obezitate extremă. Principalele complicaţii cardio-metabolice diagnosticate au fost: insulinorezistenţa (47,76%), hiperinsulinismul, alterarea metabolismului lipidic şi hipertensiunea arterială. Toţi copiii au avut un raport circumferinţă talie-înălţime ≥ 0,5. Pentru compararea celor doi indici antropometrici s-a folosit testul ANOVA unifactorial şi analiza post-hoc; nu au existat diferenţe statistic semnifi cative între loturile analizate.

Concluzii. Obezitatea definită prin valoarea IMC şi raportul circumferinţă talie-înălţime ≥ 0,5 se asociază, în majoritatea cazurilor, cu complicaţii cardio-metabolice. În practica medicală atât IMC, cât şi WHtR ar trebui utilizaţi ca şi metode de evaluare dar, raportul circumferinţă talie-înălţime prezintă câteva avantaje importante.

Cuvinte cheie: obezitatea copilului, indice de masă corporală, raport circumferinţă talie-înălţime, afecţiuni cardio-metabolice asociate obezităţii

ABSTRACT

Introduction. Anthropometric measurements are simple clinical tools that can be used for the evaluation of obesity-related cardiometabolic complications.

Objective. To identify obesity-related cardiometabolic outcomes and to compare the relevance of BMI or WHtR for early diagnosis in a group of obese children and adolescents.

Material and methods. The study included 174 children diagnosed with simple obesity during a three year period. Anthropometric measurements (including BMI and WHtR) and biochemical variables were analyzed.

Results. 4.28% of children were overweight, 31.43% were obese and 64.29% had extreme obesity. The main cardiometabolic complication was insulin resistance (47.76%) followed by hyperinsulinism, alteration of the lipid metabolism and hypertension. All children had a WHtR ≥ 0.5. One Way ANOVA with post-hoc t-test analysis was used for the comparative evaluation of the BMI and WHtR; there were no statistic significant differences between groups.

Conclusion. Obesity defined by BMI and a WHtR ≥ 0.5 is in the majority of cases associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. Both anthropometric indexes should be used as evaluation tools in medical practice, but WHtR has some important advantages.

Keywords: child obesity, body mass index, waist to height ratio, obesity related cardiometabolic disease
