La concentración sérica de fósforo oscila entre 2,5 y 4,5mg/dl (0,81-1,45mmol/l) en adultos, con niveles más altos en la infancia, la adolescencia y durante la gestación. El fosfato intracelular está implicado en el metabolismo intermediario y otras funciones celulares esenciales, mientras que el extracelular es fundamental para la mineralización de la matriz ósea. La fosforemia se mantiene en un estrecho rango mediante la regulación de la absorción intestinal, la redistribución y la reabsorción tubular renal de fósforo. La hipofosfatemia y la hiperfosfatemia son situaciones clínicas frecuentes, aunque, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, se trata de alteraciones leves y poco sintomáticas. Sin embargo, pueden presentarse cuadros agudos y severos que requieren tratamiento específico. En este documento elaborado por miembros del Grupo de Trabajo de Metabolismo Mineral y Óseo de la Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición se revisan los trastornos del fosfato y se proporcionan algoritmos de manejo clínico de la hipofosfatemia y la hiperfosfatemia.

Serum phosphorus levels range from 2.5 and 4.5 mg/dl (0.81–1.45 mmol/l) in adults, with higher levels in childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy. Intracellular phosphate is involved in intermediary metabolism and other essential cell functions, while extracellular phosphate is essential for bone matrix mineralization. Plasma phosphorus levels are maintained within a narrow range by regulation of intestinal absorption, redistribution, and renal tubular absorption of the mineral. Hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphatemia are common clinical situations, although changes are most often mild and oligosymptomatic. However, acute and severe conditions that require specific treatment may occur. In this document, members of the Mineral and Bone Metabolism Working Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition review phosphate disorders and provide algorithms for adequate clinical management of hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphatemia.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is a benign cause of hypercalcemia of autosomal dominant inheritance that does not normally require treatment. The case is presented on a 21 year-old male with a typical familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia biochemical profile: mild hypercalcaemia, normal PTH levels, and hypocalciuria. A genetic study was requested on the CASR gene, which showed a heterozygous variant not previously described in the literature. The father, with mild hypercalcaemia, was also a carrier of this variant. Although it is a disease with no significant clinical repercussions, it is useful to perform genetic confirmation of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia to differentiate it from primary hyperparathyroidism and to provide adequate genetic counselling to patients.

Resultados Se incluyeron 288 pacientes (varones 62,5%; 70,3 ± 10,3 anos; 71,5% SM y 28,5% SQ). El regimen insulinico basal-bolus-correccion se instauro en el 55,9% (IC95%: 50,5-61,2%); 63,1% SM vs. 37,8% SQ (p Conclusiones Son recomendables estrategias para aumentar la implantacion del PIH, especialmente en servicios quirurgicos. Las pautas moviles de insulina rapida son la alternativa mas frecuente al regimen insulinico basal-bolus-correccion. Es preciso fomentar la valoracion del control metabolico al ingreso.

Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by persistent changes in eating habits that negatively affect a person's health and psychosocial abilities. They are considered psychiatric disorders, highly variable in their presentation and severity, with a huge impact on nutrition, which conditions various therapeutic approaches within a key multidisciplinary context. A group of experts in nutrition, we decided to set up a task force adscribed to the "Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral" (SENPE), which has stated as one of its goals the development of a consensus document to generate a protocol based on the best scientific evidence and professional experience available in order to improve health care in this field.

Anorexia nervosa is the most common psychiatric disease among young women and it is assumed to be of multifactorial origin. Diagnostic criteria have recently been modified; therefore amenorrhea has ceased to be a part of them. This disease shows a large variability in its presentation and severity which conditions different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. The goals are to restore nutritional status (through an individualized diet plan based on a healthy consumption pattern), treat complications and comorbidities, nutritional education (based on healthy eating and nutritional patterns), correction of compensatory behaviors and relapse prevention. The treatment will vary according to the patient's clinical situation, and it may be performed in outpatient clinics (when there is clinical stability), in a day hospital or ambulatory clinic (intermediate mode between traditional outpatient treatment and hospitalization) or hospitalization (when there is outpatient management failure or presence of serious medical or psychiatric complications). Artificial nutrition using oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition and exceptionally parenteral nutrition may be necessary in certain clinical settings. In severely malnourished patients the refeeding syndrome should be avoided. Anorexia nervosa is associated with numerous medical complications which determines health status, life quality, and is closely related to mortality. There is little clinical evidence to assess the results of different treatments in anorexia nervosa, when most of the recommendations are being based on expert consensus.

Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are unique nosological entities. Both show a large variability related to its presentation and severity which involves different therapeutic approaches and the need to individualize the treatment, thus it is indispensable a multidisciplinary approach. Patients with bulimia nervosa may suffer from malnutrition and deficiency states or even excess weight, while in binge eating disorders, it is common overweight or obesity, which determine other comorbidities. Many of the symptoms and complications are associated with compensatory behaviors. There are many therapeutic tools available for the treatment of these patients. The nutritional approach contemplates the individualized dietary advice which guarantees an adequate nutritional state and nutritional education. Its objective is to facilitate the voluntary adoption of eating behaviors that promote health and allow the long-term modification of eating habits and the cessation of purgatory and bingeing behaviors. Psychological support is a first-line treatment and it must address the frequent disorder of eating behavior and psychiatric comorbidities. Psychotropic drugs are effective and widely used although these drugs are not essential. The management is carried out mainly at an outpatient level, being the day hospital useful in selected patients. Hospitalization should be reserved to correct serious somatic or psychiatric complications or as a measure to contain non-treatable conflict situations. Most of the guidelines' recommendations are based on expert consensus, with little evidence which evaluates clinical results and cost-effectiveness.

Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) se caracterizan por una alteración persistente de la conducta relacionada con el hecho de alimentarse que impacta negativamente sobre la salud y las capacidades psicosociales de aquellos que los padecen. Se consideran enfermedades psiquiátricas con una gran variabilidad en su presentación y gravedad, con gran repercusión nutricional, lo que condiciona diferentes planteamientos terapéuticos, haciéndose indispensable un enfoque multidisciplinar. Expertos en nutrición hemos decidido crear un grupo de trabajo adscrito a la Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral (SENPE), que ha asumido entre sus objetivos el elaborar un documento de consenso que genere un protocolo basado en la mejor evidencia científica posible y en la experiencia profesional, con la finalidad de mejorar la práctica asistencial en este campo.

In 2009, the Andalusian Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition designed a protocol for subcutaneous insulin treatment in hospitalized non-critically ill patients (HIP).To analyze implementation of HIP at tertiary care hospitals from the Andalusian Public Health System.A descriptive, multicenter study conducted in 8 tertiary care hospitals on a random sample of non-critically ill patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia (n=306) hospitalized for ≥48 hours in 5 non-surgical (SM) and 2 surgical (SQ) departments. Type 1 and other specific types of diabetes, pregnancy and nutritional support were exclusion criteria.288 patients were included for analysis (62.5% males; 70.3±10.3 years; 71.5% SM, 28.5% SQ). A scheduled subcutaneous insulin regimen based on basal-bolus-correction protocol was started in 55.9% (95%CI: 50.5-61.2%) of patients, 63.1% SM vs. 37.8% SQ (P.05). Alternatives to insulin regimen based on basal-bolus-correction included sliding scale insulin (43.7%), diet (31.3%), oral antidiabetic drugs (17.2%), premixed insulin (1.6%), and others (6.2%). For patients previously on oral antidiabetic drugs, in-hospital insulin dose was 0.32±0.1 IU/kg/day. In patients previously on insulin, in-hospital insulin dose was increased by 17% [-13-53], and in those on insulin plus oral antidiabetic drugs, in-hospital insulin dose was increased by 26.4% [-6-100]. Supplemental insulin doses used for40 IU/day and 40-80 IU/day were 72.2% and 56.7% respectively. HbA1c was measured in 23.6% of patients (95CI%: 18.8-28.8); 27.7% SM vs. 13.3% SQ (P.05).Strategies are needed to improve implementation of the inpatient subcutaneous insulin protocol, particularly in surgical departments. Sliding scale insulin is still the most common alternative to insulin regimen based on basal-bolus-correction scheduled insulin. Metabolic control assessment during hospitalization should be encouraged.

Congenital hypopituitarism due to pituitary stalk and anterior pituitary hypoplasia accompanied by an ectopic posterior pituitary lobe is a rare disorder causing multiple hormone deficiencies. Clinical signs can be present at birth (hypoglycemia, prolonged jaundice and micropenis) and there can be severe growth restriction. Therefore, diagnosis is usually performed in childhood. We present the uncommon case of a 67-year-old man with hypopituitarism due to hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary and pituitary stalk together with an ectopic posterior pituitary who presented symptoms of hyponatremia due to adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency.

We characterize the pairs of weights (w, v) for which the modified Hardy operator Tf(x) = g(x) ∫ x 0 f applies Lp(v) into weak-Lq(w) where g is a monotone function and 1 ≤ q < p
