Title in Portuguese
Síndrome HELLP e defeitos de beta oxidação de ácidos graxos de cadeia longa hidroxi-acil: um estudo de caso-controle
Keywords in Portuguese
3-Hidroxiacil CoA desidrogenase
Erros Inatos do Metabolismo
Síndrome HELLP
Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução: A enzima 3-hidroxiacil CoA desidrogenase de cadeia longa (LCHAD) é uma das enzimas envolvidas na beta-oxidação mitocondrial de ácidos graxos e faz parte do complexo enzimático chamado proteína trifuncional. Sua deficiência segue um modelo de herança autossômica recessiva com uma mortalidade maior que 70%, porém um tratamento dietoterápico adequado reduz substancialmente a morbimortalidade. Estudos recentes descreveram que gestantes de fetos homozigóticos para defeitos de LCHAD apresentam grandes chances de desenvolver síndrome HELLP e doença hepática aguda da gestação, com risco de morte materna, fetal e do recém-nascido. A síndrome HELLP é caracterizada por plaquetopenia, enzimas hepáticas elevadas e hemólise, podendo se apresentar na forma completa ou parcial. Estudos mostram que investigar a relação entre síndrome HELLP e defeitos de LCHAD, possibilita a prevenção de futuras gestações de risco por meio de aconselhamento genético e o diagnóstico precoce deste erro inato do metabolismo. Objetivos: Verificar a associação entre gestantes com síndrome HELLP e lactentes com defeitos LCHAD e identificar problemas de saúde gerados pela doença nesses conceptos. Metodologia: Análise de prontuários, necropsias e desfecho atual dos conceptos de 42 gestantes com síndrome HELLP e 84 controles. Resultados: Entre as gestantes que compunham os casos, a maioria apresentou proteinúria; além de sintomas como vômitos e epigastralgia. O parto cesárea foi realizado em 93% das gestantes. Quase metade das puérperas apresentou algum tipo de complicação materna. Quanto ao desfecho perinatal, 90% dos conceptos apresentaram baixo peso ao nascer e 23,8% evoluíram para óbito. Entre esses 10 óbitos, resgatamos 7 imagens histopatológicas com esteatose hepática. Inferimos doença metabólica nesses casos, que levou a uma associação de 11% com a síndrome HELLP. Entre o grupo controle, 46,2% das mulheres já haviam sofrido pelo menos um aborto. Na atual gestação 6,4% desenvolveram pré-eclampsia; entre outras complicações. Encontramos gravidezes subsequentes das gestantes do grupo Caso com recorrência de HELLP e óbito. Conclusão: Os resultados reforçam a importância do diagnóstico precoce de síndrome HELLP, além da investigação da associação do defeito de LCHAD e HELLP mesmo post morten afim de evitar futuras gestações de risco e diminuir a morbimortalidade materna e neonatal.

HELLP syndrome and Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency: case-control study

Inborn Errors
Abstract in English
Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) is one of the enzymes involved in the mitochondrial fatty acids beta-oxidation and part of the enzymatic complex called trifunctional protein. Its deficiency follows an autosomal recessive model with a higher mortality, but an adequate dietary treatment reduces its morbimortality. Recent studies reported that mothers of fetuses homozygous for LCHAD deficiency have higher chances of developing HELLP and acute fatty liver of pregnancy with risk of maternal, infant and fetal death. Thrombocytopenia, elevated liver enzymes and hemolysis characterize HELLP syndrome, which can be diagnosed as complete or partial. Studies demonstrate that investigate the association between HELLP syndrome and LCHAD defects can prevent future risk pregnancies through genetic counseling and early diagnosis of this inborn error of metabolism. Objectives: To investigate the association between pregnant women and concepts with LCHAD deficiency and identify health problems caused by the disease in these fetuses. Methodology: Analysis of medical records, autopsy reports and current outcome of fetuses of 42 pregnant women with HELLP syndrome and 84 controls. Results: In case group, most patients presented proteinuria; as well as symptoms as vomiting and epigastric pain. The cesarean delivery was performed in 93% of pregnant women. Almost half of women presented maternal complications. In perinatal outcome, 90% of fetuses has low weight at birth and 23.8% died. Among these 10 deaths, we rescued 7 hystopathological images with hepatic steatosys. We could infer metabolic disease in these cases, which led to an association of 11% to the HELLP syndrome. Among the control group, 46.2% of women had at least one abortion before this pregnancy. During the pregnancy 6.4% developed pre-eclampsia among other complications. In control group, we find HELLP syndrome recurrence and death in subsequent pregnancy. Conclusion: The results reinforce the importance of early diagnosis of HELLP syndrome, as well as research LCHAD and HELLP association even post mortem to avoid future risk pregnancies and reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
