Abstract

Background/aims: Ghrelin stimulates gastrointestinal motility. Although there are some experimental and clinical studies sup- porting the role of ghrelin for gastrointestinal motility disorders, limited research for constipation has been published. The purpo- se of this study was to evaluate the possible role of ghrelin in the pathophysiology of functional constipation in childhood. Materi- al and Methods: Forty-three newly diagnosed constipated children aged 1-6 years and 25 healthy age-matched controls were inc- luded. Serum ghrelin levels were analyzed initially in both groups. Treatment protocol consisted of dietary modification, lactulose, and administration of pediatric enema. Ghrelin levels of children with functional constipation were reanalyzed after two months of treatment. Results: Initial serum ghrelin levels of constipated patients were found to be lower than those of healthy children (p<0.001). Ghrelin levels increased during therapy. The differences between initial and second month serum ghrelin levels of cons- tipated patients were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our data supports the potential role of ghrelin in children with functional constipation. Observation of an increase in serum ghrelin levels with nonspecific treatment supports the hypothesis that low serum ghrelin levels might be a result rather than the cause of constipation.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Ghrelin gastrointestinal motiliteyi artırmaktadır. Gastrointestinal motilite bozukluklarında ghrelinin rolü olduğunu destekleyen bazı deneysel ve klinik çalışmalar mevcut olmakla birlikte, konstipasyonla ilgili olarak sınırlı sayıda çalışma yayınlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, çocukluk döneminde fonksiyonel konstipasyonun patofizyolojisinde ghrelinin olası rolü değerlendirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaşları 1-6 arasında değişen yeni konstipasyon tanısı almış 43 çocuk ve 25 sağlıklı kontrol grubu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Başlangıç serum ghrelin düzeyleri, her iki grupta da anali edildi. Tedavi protokolü; diyet, laktuloz ve pediatrik lavman uygulamasından oluşuyordu. Fonksiyonel konstipasyonu olan hastaların ghrelin seviyeleri iki aylık tedavi sonrası tekrar analiz edildi. Bulgular: Konstipasyonu olan hastaların başlangıç serum ghrelin düzeyleri, sağlıklı çocuklardan daha düşük bulunmuştur (p <0.001). Ghrelin seviyeleri tedavi sırasında artış göstermiştir. Konstipasyonu olan hastaların ilk ve ikinci ayda ölçülen serum ghrelin düzeyleri arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p <0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, ghrelinin fonksiyonel konstipasyonu olan çocuklarda potansiyel rolü olabileceğini desteklemektedir. Nonspesifik tedavi ile serum ghrelin seviyelerinde artış gözlenmesi, düşük ghrelin seviyelerinin konstipasyonun sebebinden çok, sonucu olabileceği hipotezini desteklemektedir.
