Balancing inflammation and adverse effects of glucocorticoids in clinical practice
Corticosteroids play a vital role in enabling the body to tolerate stressful situations and regulate the inflammatory process. Excessive or persistent inflammation can lead to tissue damage and the development of diseases. Glucocorticoids are crucial in modulating the impact of inflammatory disorders, such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, and sepsis. These disorders can be life-threatening and benefit from glucocorticoid administration. Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids are utilized for the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal function disorders and various inflammatory, immune, and neoplastic conditions. The discovery of glucocorticoids is a testament to the ingenuity and collaboration of researchers. For over 70 years, glucocorticoids have revolutionized medicine and are widely employed in various medical conditions. This article provides a comprehensive review of the critical considerations for the clinical application of glucocorticoids, aiming to strike a balance between their benefits and potential risks. Understanding its history, chemical structure, pharmacology, and mechanisms of action provides the foundation for achieving proper use of this type of medication.
期刊介绍:
The Colombian Journal of Rheumatology (Revista Colombiana de Reumatología) is the official organ of the Colombian Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Colombiana de Reumatología) and the Central American, Caribbean and Andean Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Centroamericana Caribe Andina de Reumatología) - ACCA. It was created in December 1993 with the purpose of disseminating scientific information derived from primary and secondary research and presenting cases coming from the practice of Rheumatology in Latin America. Since its foundation, the Journal has been characterized by its plurality with subjects of all rheumatic and osteomuscular pathologies, in the form of original articles, historical articles, economic evaluations, and articles of reflection and education in Medicine. It covers an extensive area of topics ranging from the broad spectrum of the clinical aspects of rheumatology and related areas in autoimmunity (both in pediatric and adult pathologies), to aspects of basic sciences. It is an academic tool for the different members of the academic and scientific community at their different levels of training, from undergraduate to post-doctoral degrees, managing to integrate all actors inter and trans disciplinarily. It is intended for rheumatologists, general internists, specialists in related areas, and general practitioners in the country and abroad. It has become an important space in the work of all rheumatologists from Central and South America.
