Doença do neurônio motor: avaliação metabólica

Motor neuron disease: a metabolic approach

Resumos

Com base nos escassos dados da literatura médica internacional, os autores estudam os níveis séricos e urinários de cálcio e fósforo, bem como a existência de possíveis anormalidades na coluna vertebral de 30 enfermos com o diagnóstico de doença do neurônio motor. Os autores postulam a participação de múltiplos fatores na etitfpatogenia da doença, fazendo menção aos aspectos tóxicos e metabólicos.

The authors studied serum and urinary calcium and phosphorus levels, as well as abnormalities on the spine of 30 piatients with motor neuron disease. The authors believe in multifactorial aspects in the pathogenesis of motor neuron disease, calling special attention to toxic and metabolic factors.
