Estatinas y autoinmunidad

Abstract

Resumen Las estatinas son los farmacos mas utilizados en la prevencion tanto primaria como secundaria de enfermedades cardiovasculares y asociadas a aterosclerosis. Alrededor de 25 millones de personas estan en tratamiento con estatinas en el mundo. A pesar de que son bien toleradas por la mayoria de los pacientes y de tener un perfil muy seguro, algunos pacientes presentan alteraciones, especialmente a nivel muscular. Los efectos biologicos asociados a estos farmacos son conocidos como pleiotropicos; son de tal interes y diversidad que explican, en parte, algunas de las acciones de las estatinas, especialmente en relacion con la inflamacion y el sistema inmunitario. Algunos pacientes presentan ciertas alteraciones inmunologicas que puede transformarse luego en expresion clinica no deseable. Estudios recientes han mostrado que pueden desencadenar fenomenos autoinmunitarios. Han sido descritas enfermedades en las que actuan como desencadenantes, como la miopatia necrosante inmunomediada, o indirectamente en dermatomiositis o hepatitis autoinmunitaria, entre otras. Es asi por lo que dado el elevado numero de personas en tratamiento con estatinas, creemos que se trata de un problema clinicamente relevante y, por tanto, merecedor de estudio.
