Abstract

Summary

Gitelman syndrome (GS) is the disease model of the inactivation of thiazide‐sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC), which is believed to benefit bone mass and reduce fracture risk. In this study, we found that GS patients have superior bone microarchitecture, which is associated with the disease status. Several decreased bone parameters with aging in healthy controls were reversed in GS patients to a certain extent.

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of the inactivation of NCC on bone turnover and microarchitecture in Gitelman syndrome patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 45 GS patients (25 males and 20 females). Serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), β-carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX), and osteocalcin were measured. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was conducted to evaluate bone microarchitecture in GS patients and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) simultaneously.

Results

GS patients had a relatively lower level of β-CTX. aBMD at several skeletal sites was improved in GS patients. HR-pQCT assessment revealed that GS patients had slightly thinner but significantly more compact trabecular bone (increased trabecular number and decreased thickness), notably decreased cortical porosity, and increased volume BMD (vBMD) at both the radius and tibia compared with controls. The disease severity, represented as the relationship with the minimum level of magnesium during the course and standard base excess, was associated with bone microarchitecture parameters after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. The decreased vBMD and Tb.BV/TV, and increased Tb.Sp and Ct.Po with aging, were reversed in GS patients to a certain extent.

Conclusion

GS patients have superior bone microarchitecture, which suggests that the inactivation of NCC might be beneficial for avoiding osteoporosis.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
