Hyperhomocysteinaemia in Children with Chronic Renal Insufficiency
Hyperhomocysteinémia u detí s chronickou renálnou insuficienciou
Zvýšená plazmatická koncentrácia homocysteínu - hyperhomocysteinémia - sa považuje za nezávislý rizikový faktor aterosklerózy. Chronická renálna insuficiencia (CHRI) vedie k poruche metabolizmu homocysteínu a často je sprevádzaná aj deficitom vitamínov dôležitých v procese odbúravania homocysteínu, čím sa riziko cievneho poškodenia u týchto pacientov zvyšuje.V prezentovanej štúdii autori u 33 detí s rôznym stupňom CHRI (16 detí s konzervatívnou liečbou, 10 detí v dialyzačnom programe a 7 detí po transplantácii obličky) vyšetrili plazmatické koncentrácie homocysteínu, kyselinu listovú a vitamín B12, sérový kreatinín, BMI a sérový albumín. Vo všetkých troch skupinách pacientov boli koncentrácie homocysteínu signifikantne vyššie ako u zdravých detí (17,84 ± 3,89 mmol/l vs. 7,75 ± 2,42 mmol/l, p

Overview
A raised plasma concentration of homocysteine - hyperhomocysteinaemia - is considered an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis. Chronic renal insufficiency (CHRI) leads to impaired homocysteine metabolism and is frequently associated also with deficiency of vitamins important in the process of homocysteine breakdown. This increases the risk of cardiovascular damage in these patients.In the submitted investigation the authors examined in 33 children with different grades of CHRI (16 children with conservative treatment, 10 children in a dialyzation programme and 7 children after renal transplantation) the plasma concentration of homocysteine, folic acid, and vitamin B12 serum creatinine, BMI and serum albumin. In all three groups of patients the homocysteine concentrations were significantly higher than in healthy children (17.84 ± 3.89 vs 7.75 ± 2.42 mmol/l, p
