RESUMOObjetivos: Avaliar as alterações metabólicas de crianças e adolescentes portadores da Síndrome de Prader-Willi tratadas com hormônio de crescimento recombinante humano (rhGH). Casuística e métodos: Foram estudados sete pacientes: quatro meninos e três meninas, com idades de seis anos e seis meses a 14 anos e 11 meses. Receberam rhGH, 0,1 U/Kg/dia subcutâneo, seis vezes por semana, durante dois anos. Avaliamos dados antropométricos, lípides séricos, glicemia, IGF-I e composição corpórea, no início e após 12 e 24 meses de tratamento com rhGH. Resultados: Todos os pacientes tiveram elevação do IGF-I. Houve diminuição das pregas cutâneas, sendo que a média de perda de massa adiposa foi de 5,0% e a massa magra aumentou em média 7,6 kg nos pré-púberes, e a paciente púbere ganhou 4,8 kg e teve um decréscimo de 5,6% de massa adiposa. Houve ganho de massa óssea de 0,07 g/cm 2 (7,3%) nos pré-púberes e de 0,02 g/cm 2 (2,0%) na menina púbere. Conclusão: Em nosso estudo, o uso do hormônio de crescimento na Síndrome de PraderWilli melhorou a composição corpórea e demonstrou aumento da massa muscular e massa óssea com melhora dos níveis lipídicos. Aim: The focus of this study was to evaluate the metabolic profile of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) patients treated with growth hormone. Patients and methods: Seven patients (four boys and three girls) with ages between six years and six months and 14 years and 11 months were treated with GH 0.1 U/kg/day subcutaneous by six times a week, for two years. Anthropometric data, lipids, glucose, IGF-I and body composition were evaluated at baseline and after 12 and 24 months. Results: IGF-I levels increased in all cases. Skin folds decreased. The mean reduction in body fat was 5.0% and the mean increased in lean mass was 7.6 kg in the prepubertal patients. The pubescent girl increased 4.8 kg and showed a 5.6% decrease in fat mass. A mean gain in the bone mass was 0.07 g/cm 2 (7.3%) in prepubescent cases, and 0.02 g/cm 2 (2.0%) in the pubescent girl. Conclusion: In our study GH treatment improved lean body and bone masses and had beneficial effect on lipid values.
