“…The difference in the percentage of complications may be due to a delayed diagnosis in our country (30). The percentage of complications is similar to a more extensive Colombian report (31), which is consistent with findings reported in the literature, where hypertension is the predominant comorbidity, with a prevalence of 11 % to 54.4 % (31). Obesity is also a common complication in patients with acromegaly; 43.4 % of our patients were obese.…”

En la Serie Colombiana de Acromegalia (Rapaco) (5), el 95,7 % de los pacientes fueron tratados con análogos de somatostatina; durante el seguimiento a pacientes con acromegalia en Colombia, la pasireotida genera un descenso significativo en los niveles de hormona de crecimiento (GH) y somatomedina C (IGF-1) (6). Pese a su efectividad, uno de los efectos secundarios más frecuentes es la hiperglucemia, debido a la afinidad que tiene el medicamento a cuatro de los cinco subtipos de receptores de somatostatina que están presentes también en con acromegalia.…”
