Цель. Изучить активность компонентов ренин-ангиотензин-альдостероновой системы (РААС) у пациентов с первичным гиперпаратиреозом (ПГПТ) до и после проведения паратиреоидэктомии (ПТЭ). Материалы и методы. Проведено сравнительное исследование пациентов с ПГПТ и группы контроля. Первый этап включал обследование 56 пациентов (группа 1) до и на 3-и сутки после ПТЭ. Второй этап исследования проводился через 12 мес после ПТЭ у 27 пациентов с ремиссией ПГПТ (группа 2). Пациентам и здоровым добровольцам в сыворотке определялись основные показатели фосфорно-кальциевого обмена и параметры РААС (активность ренина плазмы – АРП, альдостерон и ангиотензин II – АТ II). Результаты. У пациентов продемонстрированы изменения активности РААС (снижение АРП, повышение АТ II) в активной стадии ПГПТ относительно здорового контроля, достигавшие статистической значимости в группе 1 (р<0,001 для обоих параметров). Отличий показателей альдостерона не обнаружено (p1=0,090; p2=0,140). На 3-и сутки после ПТЭ (группа 1) выявлены снижение альдостерона (p=0,009) и тенденция к снижению АРП (p=0,030). Однако через 12 мес после ПТЭ на фоне стойкой нормализации кальция и паратгормона прослеживаются повышение АРП (р=0,018), снижение АТ II (р=0,032) относительно исходных значений и их нормализация. Оценка корреляций параметров фосфорно-кальциевого обмена и РААС продемонстрировала противоречивые результаты. Достоверного влияния ингибиторов ангиотензинпревращающего фермента и блокаторов рецепторов АТ II на показатели фосфорно-кальциевого обмена у пациентов с ПГПТ не отмечено. Заключение. У пациентов с ПГПТ однозначной корреляции параметров фосфорно-кальциевого обмена и РААС не выявлено, однако отмечено повышение концентрации АТ II, вероятно, способствующего развитию артериальной гипертензии при данной эндокринопатии. Радикальная ПТЭ может оказывать положительное влияние на уровень АТ II.
Aim. To study an activity of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) components in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) before and after parathyroidectomy (PTE). Materials and methods. A comparative study of patients with PHPT and control group. The first stage of the study included 56 patients with PHPT (group 1) before and on the third day after PTE. The second stage was carried out in 27 patients with remission of PHPT (group 2). All patients and healthy volunteers were tested for the main parameters of phosphorus-calcium metabolism and the RAAS parameters (plasma renin activity – PRA, serum aldosterone, angiotensin II – AT II). Results. Patients with active PHPT demonstrated changes in RAAS activity (lower PRA, higher AT II level) comparing to control group, that have statistical significance in group 1 (p<0.001 for both parameters). There were no significant differences in aldosterone levels (p1=0.090; p2=0.140). On the third day after PTE (group 1), a decrease in aldosterone level (p=0.009) and a tendency to decrease in PRA (p=0.030) were detected. However, an increase in PRA (p=0.018), a decrease in AT II concentration (p=0.032) comparing to the initial values and their normalization were observed 12 months after surgery when permanent normal serum calcium and PTH levels had been achieved. There were controversial correlations between the parameters of phosphorus-calcium metabolism and RAAS. The influence of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors and AT II receptor blockers on phosphorus-calcium metabolism in patients with PHPT was not observed. Conclusion. In patients with PHPT, there were no сlear correlations of phosphorus-calcium metabolism parameters with RAAS, however an increase of AT II concentration was noted, that can take part in a development of hypertension for this endocrinopathy. PTE can have a positive effect on AT II level.
