Choroba pageta kości
Zapobieganie i profilaktyka

Choroba Pageta kości to przewlekłe zaburzenie charakteryzujące się nieprawidłową przebudową kostną, prowadzącą do powiększenia i osłabienia kości. Czynniki ryzyka obejmują wiek >50 lat, pochodzenie europejskie, płeć męską oraz obciążenie rodzinne. Zaleca się regularne monitorowanie aktywności fosfatazy alkalicznej (ALP) co 2-3 lata u osób z historią rodzinną, a także badania radiologiczne lub scyntygrafię kości przy prawidłowych wartościach ALP. Profilaktyka obejmuje suplementację wapnia (ok. 1200 mg/dobę) i witaminy D (≥400 IU/dobę, po 70. roku życia 600 IU/dobę), regularne ćwiczenia z obciążeniem, unikanie upadków oraz zdrowy styl życia (zaprzestanie palenia, ograniczenie alkoholu, utrzymanie prawidłowej masy ciała). Badania genetyczne, zwłaszcza w kierunku mutacji SQSTM1, mogą wskazać pacjentów kwalifikujących się do profilaktycznego leczenia bisfosfonianami.

Profilaktyka choroby Pageta kości

Choroba Pageta kości (Paget’s disease of bone) to przewlekłe schorzenie charakteryzujące się nieprawidłową przebudową kości, prowadzącą do ich powiększenia i osłabienia. Niestety, nie istnieje znany sposób na całkowitą prewencję tej choroby, ponieważ jej etiologia nie jest w pełni poznana.12 Mimo to, istnieje szereg działań profilaktycznych, które mogą pomóc w utrzymaniu zdrowia kostnego i zapobieganiu powikłaniom u osób z rozpoznaną już chorobą Pageta lub z grupy ryzyka.

Czynniki ryzyka

Zidentyfikowano pewne czynniki ryzyka rozwoju choroby Pageta kości, które warto znać:3

  • Wiek powyżej 50 lat – choroba występuje zdecydowanie częściej u osób starszych
  • Pochodzenie europejskie – szczególnie wysoką zachorowalność notuje się w Anglii, Włoszech i Hiszpanii
  • Płeć męska – mężczyźni chorują nieco częściej niż kobiety
  • Obciążenie rodzinne – występowanie choroby w rodzinie zwiększa ryzyko jej rozwoju

Monitorowanie osób z grupy ryzyka

Osoby z obciążeniem rodzinnym lub innymi czynnikami ryzyka mogą odnieść korzyść z regularnego monitorowania, które umożliwia wczesne wykrycie choroby:4

Badania genetyczne mogą pomóc w identyfikacji osób, które mogą odnieść korzyść z profilaktycznego leczenia. Jedno z randomizowanych badań kontrolowanych wykazało, że u osób z rodzinną historią choroby Pageta kości, testy genetyczne wykrywające patogenne warianty SQSTM1 w połączeniu z badaniem scyntygraficznym kości u osób z potwierdzoną mutacją, mogą zidentyfikować pacjentów, którzy mogliby skorzystać z profilaktycznego leczenia bisfosfonianami.6

Profilaktyka powikłań

Aby zmniejszyć ryzyko powikłań związanych z chorobą Pageta kości, zaleca się następujące działania:78

Odpowiednia dieta

Utrzymanie zdrowej diety bogatej w wapń i witaminę D jest kluczowe dla zdrowia kości:910

  • Zalecane spożycie wapnia wynosi około 1200 mg dziennie
  • Suplementacja witaminy D w dawce co najmniej 400 IU dziennie, a po 70. roku życia 600 IU dziennie
  • Pacjenci z kamicą nerkową powinni skonsultować z lekarzem odpowiednie dawki wapnia i witaminy D
  • Suplementacja wapnia i witaminy D jest szczególnie zalecana u pacjentów przyjmujących bisfosfoniany11
Aktywność fizyczna

Regularne ćwiczenia są niezbędne dla utrzymania ruchomości stawów i wzmocnienia kości:1213

  • Zalecane są ćwiczenia z obciążeniem, takie jak chodzenie, taniec czy podnoszenie ciężarów, które pomagają utrzymać siłę kości
  • Należy unikać nadmiernego obciążania kości dotkniętych chorobą Pageta
  • Przed rozpoczęciem jakiegokolwiek programu ćwiczeń wskazana jest konsultacja z lekarzem lub fizjoterapeutą14
  • Fizjoterapia może pomóc w budowaniu mięśni i poprawie równowagi, co zmniejsza ryzyko upadków i złamań15
Zapobieganie upadkom

Choroba Pageta kości zwiększa ryzyko złamań, dlatego zapobieganie upadkom jest istotnym elementem profilaktyki:1617

  • Utrzymywanie przestrzeni mieszkalnej wolnej od przeszkód i przewodów elektrycznych
  • Instalacja uchwytów w łazience
  • Stosowanie laski przy zajęciu miednicy lub nogi może zmniejszyć ból poprzez redukcję sił oddziałujących na kość i pomóc zapobiec upadkom18
  • W niektórych przypadkach stosowanie ortez może zapobiec nieprawidłowemu ustawieniu kości19
Unikanie czynników związanych z utratą masy kostnej

Zdrowy styl życia może pomóc w utrzymaniu prawidłowej gęstości kości:2021

  • Unikanie palenia tytoniu
  • Ograniczenie spożycia alkoholu
  • Utrzymanie prawidłowej masy ciała, aby zmniejszyć obciążenie stawów i kości2223

Farmakologiczna profilaktyka powikłań

W przypadku aktywnej choroby Pageta, nawet bezobjawowej, leczenie farmakologiczne może być zalecane w celu zapobiegania przyszłym powikłaniom:2425

Wskazania do profilaktycznej terapii

Leczenie profilaktyczne jest zalecane w następujących przypadkach:2627

  • Aktywna choroba (podwyższona aktywność fosfatazy alkalicznej) dotycząca miejsc wysokiego ryzyka, takich jak czaszka lub kręgosłup
  • Choroba zlokalizowana w miejscach, gdzie mogą wystąpić powikłania (np. zajęcie kręgosłupa grożące uciskiem rdzenia kręgowego)
  • Młodzi pacjenci z chorobą Pageta
  • Pacjenci z wysokim poziomem swoistej dla kości fosfatazy alkalicznej (BSAP)
  • Przed planowaną operacją na kości dotkniętej chorobą Pageta, aby zmniejszyć ryzyko nadmiernej utraty krwi2829

Należy jednak zauważyć, że decyzja o leczeniu bezobjawowych pacjentów powinna być podejmowana indywidualnie, ponieważ randomizowane badania kontrolowane nie wykazały jednoznacznie, aby leczenie pacjentów bezobjawowych przynosiło istotne korzyści w zakresie zmniejszenia ryzyka złamań, utraty słuchu, wymiany stawów, przyszłego bólu kości czy poprawy jakości życia.30

Bisfosfoniany w profilaktyce powikłań

Bisfosfoniany są głównym środkiem leczniczym w chorobie Pageta kości. Interfererują z aktywnością osteoklastów i przywracają prawidłowy metabolizm kości.31 Leczenie bisfosfonianami może być skuteczne w:3233

  • Zapobieganiu lub spowolnieniu postępu utraty słuchu
  • Zapobieganiu lub spowolnieniu rozwoju choroby zwyrodnieniowej stawów przylegających do obszarów dotkniętych chorobą Pageta
  • Potencjalnym odwróceniu paraplegii związanej z chorobą Pageta kręgosłupa
  • Zmniejszeniu ryzyka powikłań przed operacją na kości dotkniętej chorobą Pageta

Przed rozpoczęciem leczenia bisfosfonianami należy sprawdzić poziom wapnia w surowicy i uzupełnić ewentualne niedobory witaminy D (poziom ≥50nmol/L), aby zapobiec hipokalcemii.34

Regularne monitorowanie

Nawet jeśli pacjent nie wymaga leczenia, regularne monitorowanie jest kluczowe dla wczesnego wykrycia i zapobiegania powikłaniom:3536

  • Regularne wizyty lekarskie umożliwiające obserwację rozwoju potencjalnych powikłań, takich jak zapalenie stawów, złamania czy problemy neurologiczne
  • Okresowe badania aktywności fosfatazy alkalicznej w surowicy (ALP) jako marker skuteczności leczenia i aktywności choroby37
  • Ocena objawów klinicznych w trakcie każdej wizyty

Efektywne leczenie powinno normalizować poziom fosfatazy alkalicznej i eliminować objawy, co jest dobrym wskaźnikiem kontroli choroby.38

Podsumowanie zaleceń profilaktycznych

Chociaż nie można całkowicie zapobiec rozwojowi choroby Pageta kości, proaktywne podejście może pomóc w utrzymaniu zdrowia kostnego i zapobieganiu powikłaniom:3940

  • Zdrowa dieta z wystarczającą ilością wapnia i witaminy D
  • Regularna aktywność fizyczna dostosowana do stanu pacjenta
  • Unikanie upadków i urazów
  • Regularne monitorowanie medyczne
  • Profilaktyczne leczenie bisfosfonianami w uzasadnionych przypadkach
  • Przygotowanie farmakologiczne przed operacjami na kościach dotkniętych chorobą Pageta

Skuteczne zarządzanie chorobą Pageta kości wymaga specjalistycznej opieki w celu monitorowania zdrowia kości i leczenia objawów. Cele terapii obejmują zmniejszenie bólu kości, spowolnienie postępu choroby i zapobieganie powikłaniom.41 Choroba Pageta postępuje powoli, a większość osób z tym schorzeniem może być skutecznie leczona przy odpowiednim podejściu profilaktycznym i terapeutycznym.42

    The indications for treatment of PDB include bone pain, bone deformity, extensive skull involvement, hypercalcemia, fractures, neurologic compromise, monostotic disease of a tibia or femur in whom progression is likely, and high-output heart failure. Treatment is also indicated in the presence of moderately active asymptomatic disease, with serum alkaline phosphatase at least 3 to 4 times the upper limit of normal, in patients with disease at sites where complications could occur. […] For patients with moderately active disease before elective surgery on the affected bone(s), prophylactic therapy is also used to reduce hypervascularity and blood loss. Some studies indicate that antipagetic treatment is valuable for symptomatic as well as asymptomatic patients, with the goal of reducing local disease progression and the risk of future complications. […] In general, because therapy is effective and safe, treatment should be withheld only in asymptomatic patients whose disease is located only in areas with no risk of complications.

    Bisphosphonates are highly effective in suppressing bone turnover and are the mainstay of treatment for Pagets disease. […] However, before treatment, all patients should have their serum calcium levels checked and be made vitamin D replete (50nmol/L) to prevent hypocalcaemia. […] Therapy should be offered to all patients with bone pain or established complications of Pagets disease. […] People with asymptomatic Pagets disease generally do not require treatment; however, if the site of the disease increases the risk of future complications (e.g. vertebral involvement leading to spinal cord compression) then treatment should be considered. […] This decision must be made on a patient-by-patient basis, as randomised controlled trial evidence has not shown treatment of asymptomatic patients to have significant benefit in terms of fractures, hearing loss, joint replacement, future bone pain or quality-of-life measures. […] In patients requiring surgery on Pagets-affected bone, there is a role for pretreatment with bisphosphonates to reduce operative blood loss.

    Medical treatments can help decrease the symptoms of Paget’s disease, but there is no known way to reverse the effects on the bone. […] If you arent experiencing symptoms, your doctor may only call for observation. Periodic X-rays may be recommended to watch for any changes. […] If you are experiencing mild pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and aspirin can be very helpful. When the pelvis or leg is involved, using a cane can decrease pain by reducing the forces impacting the bone. A cane can also help prevent falls, so there is less risk of fracture. Braces may be used to prevent malalignment of the bones. […] Because Pagets diseases increases the blood supply to your bones, your doctor may recommend bisphosphonates before the surgery to reduce potential blood loss.

    Bisphosphonates are highly effective in suppressing bone turnover and are the mainstay of treatment for Pagets disease. […] However, before treatment, all patients should have their serum calcium levels checked and be made vitamin D replete (50nmol/L) to prevent hypocalcaemia. […] Therapy should be offered to all patients with bone pain or established complications of Pagets disease. […] People with asymptomatic Pagets disease generally do not require treatment; however, if the site of the disease increases the risk of future complications (e.g. vertebral involvement leading to spinal cord compression) then treatment should be considered. […] This decision must be made on a patient-by-patient basis, as randomised controlled trial evidence has not shown treatment of asymptomatic patients to have significant benefit in terms of fractures, hearing loss, joint replacement, future bone pain or quality-of-life measures. […] In patients requiring surgery on Pagets-affected bone, there is a role for pretreatment with bisphosphonates to reduce operative blood loss.
