Hypoparathyroidism increases the risk of kidney disease, including kidney failure, neuropsychiatric disorders and infections. The frequency and degree of disease complications depend on its etiology. Non-surgical hypoparathyroidism is associated with an increased risks of cataracts, cardiovascular diseases and vertebral fractures; however, the pathogenesis of these disorders is not fully understood. Various parameters of mineral homeostasis were discussed in the context of identified complications. For example, persistent hypercalciuria and intake of large doses of calcium and vitamin D supplements were associated with the structural pathology of the kidneys (nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis).This review covers the issue of the clinical manifestations and complications of chronic hypoparathyroidism, as well as predictors of their development.","PeriodicalId":274852,"journal":{"name":"FOCUS.

To develop an applied clinical calculator for the prognosis of rapid progression of CKD in patients with type 2 diabetes, which allows to identify a group of patients at risk of a high rate of decrease in GFR of diabetes in outpatient admission, to assess its informativeness, resolution and diagnostic significance.Material and methods. A single-stage cross-observational study of clinical status indicators was performed in a population sample of patients with type 2 diabetes. Primary medical data were collected using the AWPE 2.0 program; 150 protocols of outpatient consultations, including 69 clinical indicators, were selected according to the compliance criteria. Based on the results of a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the indicators of clinical status and the stages of development of CKD in type 2 diabetes, the most significant factors of progression of diabetic kidney damage are identified; the original diagnostic parameter \"GFR reduction Index\" is proposed and clinically justified, which allows to give an objective quantitative characteristic of the dynamics of the pathological process; the measure of the influence of diagnostically significant predictors on the rate of GFR reduction is determined by regression analysis; a logistic model is constructed, on the basis of which a prognostic calculator for rapid progression of CKD is developed.Results. Quantitative assessment of the contribution of individual clinical indicators to the rate of progression of CKD allowed us to identify the following significant factors: duration of diabetes and insulin therapy, acute myocardial infarction in history, age, BMI, concomitant retinopathy, pulsation on the popliteal artery, risk group IV hypertension, treatment with sulfonylureas (without differentiated assessment by pharmacological groups), calcium antagonists; when evaluating the informativeness and predictive ability of the calculator, the area under the AUC ROC curve was 0,90 (0,82; 0,98), p<0,001, which characterizes the quality of the diagnostic technique as very high.Conclusion. The original diagnostic parameter \"Glomerular filtration Rate reduction Index\" allows us to get a more detailed and accurate idea of the patterns of progression of CKD in DM, the applied clinical calculator of rapid progression of CKD allows us to identify a group of patients at risk of a high rate of GFR reduction, with a high level of diagnostic significance in outpatient settings.","PeriodicalId":274852,"journal":{"name":"FOCUS.

The number of individuals with primary and secondary AI in Europe is estimated at 20-50 per 100 thousand people, the increase in the number of cases of this disease in the world may be partly due to the rapid increase in the frequency of use of GC in various clinical strategies, including in oncological diseases.In AI, hormone replacement therapy is vital, but long-term use of GC may be associated with various adverse effects, especially at non-physiological concentrations of GC. This review provides a brief overview of the current therapeutic possibilities of AI hormone therapy, which contributes to the prevention of the development of adrenal crises, as well as promising opportunities for more effective imitation of the physiological profile of cortisol, aimed at preventing the development of undesirable effects of therapy. Several different forms of AI are currently available, differing in profile, duration of action, and route of administration. The most preferred currently in the treatment of AI are GCs with a short half-life, which provides a more manageable action profile and a lower risk of side effects. Promising substitution therapy options include modified-release hydrocortisone preparations, as well as new methods of drug administration using an insulin pump, which will better mimic the physiological effects of endogenous cortisol.","PeriodicalId":274852,"journal":{"name":"FOCUS.

However, observation of patients with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) after thyroidectomy shows that achieving euthyroidism while taking L-thyroxine, as well as maintaining weight in some cases, is difficult or not possible at all. Thus, the study of thyroid function and body weight dynamics in the first year after thyroidectomy remains an urgent task of clinical thyroidology.Aim. To study thyroid function and body weight dynamics in patients with DTG after various types of surgical treatment.Material and methods. The study included 310 patients with DTG (234 women — 75,5% and 76 men — 24,5%), the average age was 46,46±0,99 years. In all patients with DTG before surgery, after 1 month and 1 year after the operation, the results of hormonal examination (levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4), body weight dynamics were evaluated. Levels of TSH and free T4 was determined by enzyme immunoassay. To assess the dynamics of body weight one year after the operation, depending on the change in weight, the patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 — body weight decreased by more than 5%; group 2 — body weight did not change; group 3 — body weight increased by more than 5%. Statistical analysis of the study results was performed using the SPSS 16.0 program (SPSS Inc., USA).Results. Before surgical treatment, blood TSH levels were normal in all patients, and there were no differences between the groups (p=0,94). In patients after subtotal resection, the average level of TSH in the blood after 1 month. after surgery was significantly higher (p=0,02) than in patients who underwent extirpation of the thyroid gland (TG). Blood TSH was monitored in all patients 1 year after surgery. In patients with thyroid extirpation, the level of TSH in the blood was significantly higher compared to patients who underwent organ-preserving surgery (p=0,01).Next, the body mass index (BMI) was analyzed in the examined groups of patients. When analyzing the BMI of patients before and after surgery, there were no significant differences in both groups: group 1 — before surgery BMI 25,67±0,57 kg/m2, after surgery 25,87±0,60 kg/m2; group 2 — before surgery BMI 25,13±0,40 kg/m2, after surgery 25,67±0,46 kg/m2. In group 1, there was a decrease in weight after surgery during the first year in 14,9% of patients, while in group 2 only in 7,2% of patients (p=0,01). Weight gain was high in both groups: in group 1 — 20,7%, in group 2 — 29,0%, but in the group after thyroidectomy was significantly higher (p=0,04). In patients with weight gain, a positive correlation was found between weight gain during the year and blood TSH 1 year after surgery (p=0,02, r=0,247).Conclusion. The obtained results suggest that after thyroidectomy performed for DTG, patients have a significantly greater increase in BMI and uncompensated hypothyroidism is more common than in patients after subtotal resection of the thyroid gland.","PeriodicalId":274852,"journal":{"name":"FOCUS.
