Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of alendronate sodium and calcitriol combination therapy on bone density and bone turnover in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. 540 women between 45-70 years of age were enrolled for assessment. Among them, 200 patients who were suitable according to medical history, physical examination, laboratory parameters and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were recruited and randomized into 4 seperate treatment groups. The first group was treated with 10 mg/day alendronate sodium and 0.25 mcgx2/day calcitriol, the second group with 10 mg/day alendronate sodium, the third group with calcitriol 0.25 mcgx2/day, and fourth group with 1000 mg/day calcium alone for 2 years. The first three groups were also given 1000 mg/day calcium. Patents were assessed at baseline and 6 months intervals. Markers of bone formation and resorption were measured at 6 months intervals. Measurement of BMD values were done at the onset and at the end of first and second year. We concluded that alendronate sodium and calcitriol combination therapy was more effective in increasing the BMDs of the lumbar spine and hip and decreasing the bone turnover in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, postmenopozal osteoporoz tedavisinde kullanılan alendronat sodyum ve kalsitriol kombine tedavisinin kemik yoğunluğu ve kemik döngüsü üzerine olan etkinliğinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Osteoporoz İzlem Polikliniğine başvuran ve yaşları 45-70 arasında değişen 540 kadın hasta değerlendirmeye alındı. Tıbbi öykü, fiziksel muayene, laboratuvar değerlendirme ve kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) ölçümlerinden sonra uygun bulunan 200 hasta çalışmaya alındı ve rastgele 4 farklı tedavi grubuna ayrıldı. 2 yıl süreyle birinci gruba 10 mg/gün alendronat sodyum ve 0,25x2 mcg/gün kalsitriol, ikinci gruba 10 mg/gün alendronat sodyum, üçüncü gruba tek başına 0,25x2 mcg/gün kalsitriol ve dördüncü gruba 1000 mg/gün kalsiyum verildi. İlk üç tedavi grubuna ek olarak günlük 1000 mg kalsiyum verildi. Hastalar tedavi başlangıcında ve 6 aylık aralar ile değerlendirmeye alındı. Kemik döngüsü belirleyicileri 6 ayda bir ölçüldü. KMY ölçümleri tedavi başlangıcında, birinci ve ikinci yılın sonunda yapıldı. Tedavi sonunda alendronat sodyum ve kalsitriol kombinasyon grubunun postmenopozal osteoporoz tedavisinde lomber omurga ve femur boynu KMY değerlerinde daha fazla artış oluşturduğu ve kemik döngüsünü daha fazla baskıladığı sonucuna varıldı.
