Abstract

It is determined that endocrine factors can play role on cachexia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). High levels of ghrelin is reported in cachectic COPD cases but its relation couldn t shown statistically. In our study, it is aimed to detect serum ghrelin levels in COPD, its relation with proinflammatory cytokines and whether serum ghrelin is associated with cachexia. Sixty stable COPD patients and 15 healthy volunteers were included in the study. COPD patients were divided into two groups, cachectic and normal weight, according to their body mass index. Spirometric assessments were performed and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and ghrelin levels were measured in all cases. When COPD patients were compared with control group; serum ghrelin levels were statistically lower, TNF-α and IL- 6 levels were statistically higher in COPD group. For cachectic COPD patients; serum ghrelin levels were statistically lower and IL-6 levels were statistically higher, compared with normal weight COPD patients. Although, serum TNF-α levels were higher for cachectic COPD patients; these levels were not significant. Positive correlation between serum ghrelin levels and body mass index was detected in patients with COPD. As a result; it is thought that increased proinflammatory cytokins and decreased serum active ghrelin levels may contribute to the development of weight loss.

Özet

Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH)nda gelişen kaşekside endokrin faktörlerin de rol oynayabildiği belirtilmektedir. Grelinin kaşektik KOAHlı olgularda arttığı bildirilmiş fakat aradaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak güçlendirilmemiştir. Çalış- mamızda KOAHda serum grelin düzeylerinin belirlenmesi, proinflamatuvar sitokinlerle ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi ve ka- şeksi ile birlikteliğinin olup olmadığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmamıza 60 stabil KOAHlı hasta ve 15 sağlıklı gö- nüllü alındı. KOAHlı hastalar beden kitle indekslerine göre kaşektik ve normal kilolu olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Tüm olgularda spirometrik inceleme yapılarak serum tümör nekroz faktörü-alfa (TNF-α), interlökin-6 (IL-6) ile grelin düzeyleri öl- çüldü. KOAHlı hastalar kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında serum grelin düzeyleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşük, TNF-α ve IL-6 düzeyleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksekti. Kaşektik KOAHlı hastalarda serum grelin düzeyi normal kilolu KOAHlı hastalara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşük, IL-6 düzeyi ise anlamlı yüksekti. Serum TNF-α düzeyi de ka- şektik KOAHlı hastalarda daha yüksek bulunmakla birlikte bu yükseklik anlamlı düzeyde değildi. KOAHlı hastalarda serum grelin düzeyleri beden kitle indeksi arasında pozitif korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç olarak; KOAHda gelişen kilo kaybında artmış proinflamatuvar sitokinlerin yanında azalmış serum aktif grelin düzeylerinin katkısının olabileceği düşünülmüştür
