The benefits of hormone replacement therapy in pre-menopausal women with oestrogen deficiency on haemodialysis

Abstract: Transdermal HRT allows sustained physiological serum oestradiol concentrations in pre-menopausal women with oestrogen deficiency on haemodialysis, with the restoration of regular menses and a marked improvement in their sexual function. The treatment inhibits bone demineralization and can play an important role in the prevention of early osteoporosis in this group of patients.

“…In the current study, short-term HRT administration decreased urinary calcium excretion, a marker of bone turnover, and increased BMD at the spine, femoral neck, and distal radius, consistent with the known short-and longterm bone antiresorptive effects of estrogens or estrogens plus progestins in estrogen-deficient young (45,46) and middle-aged (22,26,47) or older (23,25,48,49) women.…”

“…HRT with estrogens may positively affect sexual desire and may prevent loss of bone mass in postmenopausal women with ESRD. 36 More recently alternatives to HRT such as the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have been proposed because they have shown the benefits of estrogen on bone and serum lipid levels, without its adverse effects on the breast and endometrium in nonuremic women. 37…”

“…In a preliminary study from Poland, 13 postmenopausal women with low estradiol levels (o30 pg ml À1 ) were administered transdermal estradiol with the cyclic addition of noretisterone acetate for 12 months. 84 Compared with baseline measurements, BMD increased significantly, but only in L2-L4. Whether this increase in BMD will decrease the long-term risk of fracture will be difficult to evaluate owing to the presence of renal osteodystrophy in the ESRD population.…”
