RESUMO
A hiper-homocisteinemia é um fator de risco independente para desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular e na presença de outros fatores de risco (FR) poderá acarretar em risco adicional para o surgimento do evento. Foram realizadas dosagens séricas de homocisteína e creatinina em 146 pacientes (51 homens e 95 mulheres) cadastrados no programa HIPERDIA/MS sendo todos portadores de três FR associados hipertensão, tabagismo e histórico familiar para doença cardiovascular. A média geral foi de 14,48 µmol/L ± 5,98 (15,38 µmol/L ± 6,77 e 13,99 µmol/L ± 5,48, homens e mulheres respectivamente). A hiper-homocisteinemia esteve presente em 34,90% (39,20% e 32,60%, homens e mulheres respectivamente), de acordo com o intervalo de referência entre 5 - 15 µmol/L. Entretanto, segundo recomendações da DACH-LIGA Homocysteine, valores entre 12 - 30 µmol/L são considerados como moderada hiper-homocisteinemia. O estudo revelou que 60,30% (70,60% e 54,70%, homens e mulheres respectivamente) estavam acima de 12 µmol/L. Na avaliação do estudo, a dosagem de homocisteína sérica deve ser realizada em pacientes cadastrados no programa HIPERDIA/MS, pois além de hipertensos e/ou diabéticos, a presença de hiper-homocisteinemia pode ser um risco adicional para o desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular.
ABSTRACT
Hiper-homocysteinemia is an independent risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases and in the presence of other risk factors (RF) may bring about an additional risk for the occurrence of the event. Serum dosages of homocysteine and creatinine in 146 patients (51 men and 95 women), registered at the HIPERDIA/MS Program, all presenting three associated RF's; hypertension, smoking habit and family history for cardiovascular diseases. The general average has been 14.48 µmol/L ± 5,98 (15,38 µmol/L ±6,77 and 13,99 µmol/L ± 5,48, for men and women respectively). Hiper-homocysteinemia had been present in 34.90% (39.20% and 32.60%, men and women, respectively), according to the reference interval between 5 - 15 µmol/L. Although, according to Homocysteine DACH-LIGA recommendations, values between 12 - 30 µmol/L are considered being a moderate hiper-homocysteinemia. The study has revealed that 60.30% (70.60% and 54.70%, men and women, respectively) had been above 12 µmol/L. In the evaluation of the study, the serum dosage of homocysteine has to be performed in patients registered at the HIPERDIA/MS Program for, besides being hypertense and/or diabetic, the presence of hiper-homocisteinemia may be an additional risk for the development of cardiovascular disease.
